What are you looking for 2.5" or 3.5", and I assume you want Sata?

2.5 or a 3.5 m8, whatever is cheapest :-)

for what its worth your prolly better getting a 2tb :S

[manxspud]

Prices went up by between 10% and 60% due to the flooding in Thailand , Japan ect

There were even fears that there would not be enough drives available to meet demand ... Last i checked there was a shortfall of around 10 to 20 million units. The situation is not expected to improve until the back end of this year.

So i would not expect to find to many really good deals on drives for a while yet.

yeah like manxspud said since then

the price is like £70-80 for 1tb and £80 and onwards up to 150 roughly
i think depending on size and sata type for the hard drives nowadays

ive put some links down for you

here are some hard drive examples
also make sure you know what sata your motherboard uses some dont use the latest
