Global Hard Drive Shortage – Thailand Flooding
Posted by Sarge
As you may, or may not be aware, Thailand has recently suffered it's worst flooding in decades, which have been devastating to the country and it's economy, one of the effects of this is a global shortage of hard drives in the IT Storage industry, with the vast majority of hard drive manufacturers badly affected.
At this uncertain time it is almost impossible for us to know on a day-to-day basis what is happening with stocks of hard drives, with almost all manufacturers and distribution companies issuing warnings that they will not support prices on a daily basis, and in some instances pricing is creeping up at least once or twice daily.
As an aside from this all distribution channels are limiting the amount of stock that reselllers, such as ourselves can buy, with volume purchases being refused.
In this current climate CleverBoxes are unable to guarantee the prices or quantities of stock that are advertised on our website, due to the unstable nature of the information provided by our suppliers.
Similarly, if you place an order for large quantities of hard drives, please do not be surprised if we are unable to fulfil your order.
This situation is unlikely to be resolved until at least the second quarter of 2012, when it is thought the manufacturing plants will come back on line.
This could potentially have a knock-on effect in other areas of the IT industry, so please be mindful of this should one of our representatives call you to discuss the outcome of an order.
Thank you for your time and understanding in this matter.
