Oh yeah for sure. I grabbed a 4TB ext when I was in town and it was $20aud more than last time I got one (last year?).
All the larger drives I looked at were ridiculous prices imo. Nothing cheap on ebay.
What I paid for those laptop drives is way more than what I would normally pay for similar stuff through work (usually $1 each), but drives are getting harder to find there.
I guess most people are pulling drives from whatever before donating. The Toshiba laptop I got still had 500GB drive in it but I needed to swap it out due to surface errors.
I also salvaged a 3.5" 500GB drive from a PVR at work on the same day.
But most stuff: PVR's, PS3 and 360 consoles seem to have drives pulled when we get them atm. It's only really a recent thing.
Times are tough for a lot of people I guess.
Spoiler warning:
I'd love to get a 10TB hard-drive. To store all my games on.
The 16GB of DDR3 (Corsair) I got was nearly half the price of what it would normally fetch.
Listing had errors, I contacted the seller to point those out and to clarify what was there, made a cheap offer and it was accepted immediately
Spoiler warning:
Ooooo, new thread
*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here
It would be nice if prices started dropping faster since sales are down. I expect they'll milk it out as much as possible.
