The economy didn't make hard drives jump twice as much in prices. Something had to happen to make them jump, and it was the flood.
Yeah, dam those Thai people, selfish floods
found this on a tech site, does this mean it will take 2 years for prices to go back down.

was thinking more like stupid trade system, relying so heavily on so few countries that have a very poor infrastructure
No country's infrastructure will be able to withstand such floods. Thailand is actually the 2nd largest exporter after China. Hurricane Katrina anyone? Doesn't really matter what country it happens in.
was thinking more that spreading the production to other nations hell we could even have things made in our own country...
