Just wondering if anyone might have noticed this - I'm staging harddisk
purchases such that I get drives that have different manufacturing
dates. By buying drives once a month, I get a really good variation.

Recently however, I'm seeing that drives (Hitachi Ultrastars) ordered in
July/August/September all have manufacturing date March 2011. Is there
a supply issue wrt harddrives?


When was the tsunami? Maybe nothing has been made since.
