Sam, I respectfully don't believe that prices of commodities can only go down. Look at the price of any commodity. I already bored everyone by talking about oil, copper and aluminum. But really, there is no law that says prices can't go up when demand outstrips supply. But regarding the presence of WD drives in stock. I also wonder if they are flooding the distributors, and not having good sales. But there is a hint here also. Their prices are NOT the lowest. There are not any on-line shops that have even one WD drive at absurd low prices like you might see Fugitsu or Seagate or Maxtor or Quantum. So my guess is that demand is OK. It seems each of those has one model at give-away prices. With Seagate, Fugitsu and Quantum each has a low capacity drive at $99.95 somewhere.
