    Can anyone remember prices before the flooding? Currently, the best price on the 750GB Scorpio is $75. Worth waiting for deals?

    $75? I'm sure I paid in the $100 range for mine (pre-flood prices).

    I would buy at this price.

    I paid around that for my 7K750 pre flood too, that puts the drive at ~0.10$ per GB which isn't bad.

    The prices are going down again. I think $65-$75 USD for 500GB Black is good (New of course).

    Thanks everyone! WD have recently posted a massive profit so I'm hoping for price falls.
