Voipmodo 0 Posted November 9, 2011 Just wanted to give an FYI, WD and possibly other AV rated hard drives are starting to be in short Supply due to flooding at the factories. There have been several news reports, and distribution is completely out of stock currently and have been told supplies will be tight for a while. Just any FYI if you have any large jobs coming up to plan ahead and double verify stock is on hand from wherever you may order from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustmop 0 Posted November 9, 2011 This is from an email I got yesterday from my system manufacturer: "In a global conference call last week, Seagate’s CEO estimated the situation would not improve for at least 2-3 quarters since damaged manufacturing equipment that must be replaced has a 3-6 month lead time." There are surcharges being placed on the Seagate enterprise drives of between $25 and $55 (ballpark numbers). OEM's are saying to expect a 12 week lead time for any device containing an HDD.
