HD price?

[Squirt]

So its been a couple of months since I've built my PC and I am on a 80 gb SSD which is constantly full so I think its time I got a new hard drive.

At the time the whole factory flooding thing occured and I wasn't able to purchase one.

^Is this a good HD for its price? Or should I wait a bit longer, or is that the average price for a 2TB?

looks about right.

Why not get a bigger SSD?

That's still a bit expensive. I grabbed a 1 TB drive for $50 CAD last time I needed one, and if I remember correctly the 7200 RPM 2TB drives were only around $90. That drive is 5900 RPM and quite a bit more..

Unless you want to overpay..nope. Hopefully by summer or 2013 the latest..

Seeing how you have a 80GB SSD already it wouldn't be much of a problem getting the 2TB drive with the 5900PPM's i'm guesing most of the programs you use will be on the SSD and the hardrive is more for storing data etc.

HDD prices are expected to drop to pre-flood prices in august-september (best prognose)
Otherwise, early 2013

Damn, I really want to buy a Hard Drive before I leave for college in around August. Hopefully they will drop this summer.
