Vecna6667 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 SSD prices are going down while mechanical HDD prices have skyrocketed due to a flood and the one HDD maker not to lose any drives in that flood(Seagate) is not able to ship any of those out of the flooded area. $110 for a 500 GB Hard Drive and $190 for a 120 GB Vertex 3.

hoofhearted4 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) wow your right. i noticed the Seagate Hybrid HDD ive had my eye on went from $100 to $160! and i didnt know why taking a look at the HDDs, a 1tb which is normally like $60 is now $160!. the only HDDs under $100 on newegg are like 250gb or less drives! hope this thing gets over soon and prices go back down to normal Edited November 6, 2011 by hoofhearted4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecna6667 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I hear that it is going to be at least 2 fiscal(finnancial) quarters before the hard drive drought come even close to ending. There might be as much as 50 million fewer hard drives shipped in that time frame. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/hard_drive_shortage_could_hurt_cloud_computing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cancausecancer Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I bought a 64GB Vertex 2 and dedicated it as a Photoshop cache drive and it's great. I'd like to get oen of the 1GB/s revodrives next because at their speed, they're cheaper than buying 3 ssds and raiding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beriallord Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Guys if you have a Z68 or better Intel Chip set board that has smart caching capability, you can get SSD speeds without sacrificing disk space. All of your most used programs will be put on the SSD cache. Even a smaller SSD around 64GB is plenty. Your OS + most used programs/games will be running at SSD speed. You don't need to spend $500 on a 300+GB SSD. I have a Z68 board + a 64GB SSD and a 1TB 7200RPM HDD, and not only can you use it as a caching device, but at the same time boost the read/write of your HDD with Intel Smart Response. The SSD boost also works on a raid array. Edited December 16, 2011 by Beriallord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
