Price Guide, July 2006: Storage
 

Beginning with the 3.0Gbps SATA drives, those of you that prefer to do your own research might want to start with SATA 3.0Gbps drives sorted by Price/GB. We can see the best deals this week are mainly coming from the 250GB drives, with at least one 320GB drive at the top of the charts. Most of these drives cost around $.31/GB. With hard drives, you often get the most hard drive space for your money by going with the largest drive available, up to a certain point. The transition point is currently at around 400GB, with the 400GB drives currently priced about $0.10 to $0.15 more per GB than the 250/320GB drives.
