Yep , a 3TB USB going at 11900 a month ago is now Rs 9500.

But i also heard HDD prices might go up a little because of a newly introduced tax

but that will only be 200 to 300 rs for a TB

Thailand floods caused me to not buy a 1tb hdd. Now i can finally buy it

it will never go down to preflood levels

What about internal hdd and ssd? Will the prices of internal hdd come down?

ssd price will come down buy year ending
forecast reports

But HDD price will still take around a year or so to come back to their previous pricing (during Q3 of 2011).

even i am waiting .. seems not so soon ,... but yes .. may be July-Aug...
Need to buy portable 1TB

Hope all your words turn true. But i feel this isnt gonna settle down soon. It might take around a year.

Almost 6-7 weeks back the price of Seagate Barracuda 1TB at flipkart was Rs.5700. Now its dropped by almost Rs.500. Yes there is a certain decrease. But its too slow and IMO it'll take more than a year to return somewhere near the pre-flood prices.
