Heard of it a few weeks back (Well hey I live in the country that did it). Was thinking about taking an old HDD and pouring salt all over just to see whether or not I get free extra space.

Cheaper to produce higher space HD's, but I feel like marketing would still keep the prices high, if not higher than they are now just because of new technology. |

They raise the price of HDDs just because of newer technology? What? May as well sell it higher and then throw in a free bag of salt.

It's more than just sprinkling salt on a hardrive platter. There was R&D, new proccess to make the disks, new BIOS on the HDD's chip; mostly the R&D though. New technologies always go down in price but start high when it's new to pay for app that stuff. *
