Dear Dealers
There is an upcoming shortage in the components used in the manufacturing of Hard Drives because of the recent flooding in Thailand, we understand that this could possibly force prices up by between 30-50%. This will affect both Seagate and Western Digital and possibly other manufacturers of hard drives as well.
This situation is out of our control and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please call first to confirm pricing on all hard drives. Please also note that our pricelist is used as a reference only and prices listed are subject to change without prior notice and are valid one week from published date only.
Thank you.
