Help buying laptop hdd

[napster007]

Hi frnds,

i am running out of disk space in my dell inspiron laptop and was considering changing it with a 500gb or a 250gb one. Can someone please tell me the current prices and where i can get the best deal from. I live in delhi.

thank you

Hard disk prices are at a record high. Better to wait for some 3 months for the price to cool down..

250 GB HDD will cost ~3.7k and 500GB HDD will Cost ~4.4k

OMG!! How come the prices are so high??? When will they come down? a 250gb hdd for 3.7k!! that is simply absurd!

The prices have already started to come down. Seagate 500GB is now 4200 down from 4700. Should be near normal in about 4 to 6 weeks.

even I'm waiting to get one 1TB HDD but due to high prices can't get it right now - even on the September the price was ~2.7k but now it's around ~5.6k - the price is more than two times compared to the previous price -

the funny thing is a 500GB HDD 3 years back was around ~3k but after 3 years due to flood in Thailand the price has increased and it's ~4.2k for internal HDDs
