FYI -- see below. From another LUG. It's a pretty cool web site and it looks like it was created by a kid who is 16 years old. Must be one really smart kid! --Mike ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:12:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Russell Horn Reply-To: MLUG Off-Topic Discussion <discussion at mlug.missouri.edu> To: MLUG Off-Topic Discussion <discussion at mlug.missouri.edu> Subject: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Hard disk prices Some of you may have seen this before, or spotted it today after it was linked to on /. It's a page that pulls all the hard drive prices from NewEgg, then graphs the corresponding Gb/$ and the lists them so you can see the sweet spot to get maximum capacity for minimum price. http://forre.st/storage Of course, most people aren't overly concerned by disk manufacturer so this is a great way to make a purchase. I'm sure there's potential for it to be a powerful shopping tool if there are other products where there are a range of manufactures all making comparable products where capacity and cost are the main variables. It's also interesting to see that 1.5TB drives are very close to becoming the new sweet spot for those planning a purchase.
