Hard Drive Prices July Updates
Wider availability of the new 1TB drives has had the hoped-for result lowering hard-drive prices across the board over the last month. Drives larger than 250GB have decreased a bit more than 10% in one month. The 500GB drives remain the price per GB leader costing about $.18 per GB (as low as $88 for a 500GB drive). Heading up to 750GB doubles the price and increasing to 1TB almost doubles the price again. Still its nice to see the 750GB drives dip well under $200 and the 1TB drives available for as low as $350 instead of their launch price of $400. The Seagate 1TB drives have not really hit the market in a meaningful way so hopefully things will dip even lower once the Hitachi has some competition.
