3.5 Inch Hard Drive Shortage

3.5 Inch Hard Drive Shortage: "

Website the INQUIRER is stating that the supply of 3.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs) for use in desktops and servers has started to dry up.


It appears that drive makers Western Digital (WD), Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba and Samsung Electronics have been caught off guard by a sudden increase in demand for 3.5-inch hard drives.


Analysts are now predicting that there will be a shortage of desktop hard drives into the middle of next year.



This could see the price of 3.5" drives going up in price! Perhaps now is the time to buy those drives in case prices do start to increase.
