What happened?!?!?!?!

Am I crazy or have hard drive prices nearly tripled since September?
 
Some factory got flooded in china or someware over there and so now high demand

I bought my WD black 1tb for 80 bucks now it's 200 it's stupid high
 
Thailand. That's where most of the major HDD production facilities are located.

There are currently no guarantees that future production will reach pre-flood levels within the next six months. Expect prices to be "stupid high" for a while.
 
might be worth it to look at SSDs... black friday/cyber monday showed decent deals (~$1-$1.50/GB), current deals similar
