a 1Tb F3 used to be £40 on the dot. now its something like £212 - more then double its original price.

I understand that the manufacturer has probably raised the costs due to the drives being in limited supply as there probably aint a factory in production thats capable of supplying every single retailer, or OEM across the globe, but these prices are just insane. An extra £20-30 ontop and I would have been like "me'h -fair enough...you gotta do what you gotta do" but this is madness. no-one in their right mind is going to purchase a hard drive at these prices unless it was a matter of life and death.
:EDIT:
Just to add to this.... Not only does buying a hard drive hurt, but it also hurts PC and hardware sales in general.
People will be less reluctant build a new PC because of the hard drive prices. SSDs are nice given the current prices but they are no substitute for massive storage. unless youre happy running with nothing but a 128Gb SSD.
