Did you happen to miss the part that says that all vendors had tripled their prices because of the Thailand flood?<p>&gt; Over the next few days prices spiked in all of our traditional purchasing channels,<p>They were grabbing existing stock from stores which had not raised their prices yet, even if they were limiting the amount of drives per customer.<p>&gt; In addition to the price of the drive there were now extra costs to shuck the drives, extra costs to recycle the shucked parts, and once shucked we couldn’t return a bad drive, but it was still less expensive than buying internal drives even if we could find them<p>They did factor costs into account. This was an emergency situation, they never said that&#x27;s how they do business normally.
