I am guessing 6 more months , although it could be anywhere between 3 months and 1 year from now.
Production has resumed but there still a shortage of supply.

1 TB WD Caviar Black is 6.8k? I recently bought a Seagate 1 TB @ 5.35k, but I am not sure if mine is equivalent to the one you are talking about.

it will take some time to recover from the heavy inflation of HDD...may be 4~5months
