Default Hard Drive Panic Buying...

As bad as the poop storm round these boards has been over the last couple of days, it's nothing compared to the terrible flooding in Thailand.

Now the waters have apparently wiped out many of the industrial areas, including factories that manufacture Hard Drives.

In the last 24 hours I have seen stock being bought up at a frightening rate, from all of the suppliers I usually use, and of course the prices are starting to rocket.

It would be nice if some of that price increase went towards a support package for the people of Thailand

Anyway, just a heads-up.
