• More cheap hard drives

  Posted on April 1, 2016 at 15:33 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  I can’t believe how low prices on hard drives have gone.

  Newegg 2 TB external hard drive. USB 3, Samsung, $65.

  Reader IB sent this in:

  Best Buy 1 TB external WD My Passport, $60 and you get a $10 gift card.

  UPDATE: IB says they just yanked the gift card.

  Consumers are getting gouged, but by whom?

  Hint: if I were you, I’d wait a couple of months to buy a hard drive.
