Here is a weekend report on disk drive pricing from a sample of drives from retail distributors.

Disk drive pricing remained stable last week. The weighted average desktop drive dropped 0.3% last week. The average price of drives less than 11 gb dropped 0.1%. The average price of drives between 11 and 21 gb dropped 0.3%. The average price of drives over 21 gb dropped 0.8%. The average SCSI drive (enterprise) dropped 0.3%.

For the month, the weighted average desktop drive dropped 1.0%. The average price of drives less than 11 gb rose 0.4%. The average price of drives between 11 and 21 gb dropped 0.7%. The average price of drives over 21 gb dropped 4.4%. The average SCSI drive dropped 2.6%.

I consider monthly price drops of less than 3.0% as improving margins for the disk drive industry. We normally expect this stability at this time of year.
