Todd,
I'm not sure all these prices are the VL series but here are the prices I have from different distributors: Maxtor 10.2 gb - $120, $127, $124, $135 20.4 gb - $191, 210, $231 Quantum 10.2 gb - $122, $130, $125, $117 20.4 gb - $198, $216, $192 Fujitsu 10.8 gb - $122, $127 Seagate 10.2 gb - $124, $136 20.4 gb - $203, $219 Western Digital 10.2 gb - $129, $140, $133, $131 20.4 gb - $208, $217, $232, $227 Maxtor seems to have the best prices.
All the manufacturers seem to say they will not cut margins below cost. If this were true, why are they all reporting loses in the desk top business?
