    Question Are hard drive prices falling

    Are HDD prices generally falling? The Seagate 500 Gb SATA is down to a little over a hundred at ClubIT.

    I imagine that would be down to TB drive release a little while back?

    When the next leap in capacity comes along for public retail you'll probably see 1 TB drives dropping down to a similar price maybe?

    Hard drive prices have declined steadily since they were introduced about 50 years ago.
