Severe flooding has decimated several hard drive manufacturing plants and hard drive component plants in Thailand. It is estimated that as much as 65% of the world’s hard drives and hard drive components are manufactured in the region affected by the floods. Approximately 32,000,000 fewer drives than usual are expected to be produced this quarter.
As a result, hard drive prices have dramatically increased and shortages (across all market segments) have already occurred, along with some panic and hoarding. Most retailers are either running out of drives, or limiting drive purchases on remaining inventory to only one per customer. Here’s an update of the situation and what we’re doing to make sure your projects can continue.

Dear Valued Customer,
As we informed you earlier this year, the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11th affected Sony, and some of our other manufacturer partners. This resulted in severe shortages of many pro tape and disc media products. Since then, significant recovery has proceeded in several areas, and we thought we would update you on the latest developments.

 RAID Storage — Speed and Security
Most video editing configurations will choose RAID over single drives. Single drives are capable of decent throughput — around 60 MBytes/sec (480 Mbits/sec, just faster than FireWire 400 and around the speed of USB 2.0). But for comfortable, multi-channel editing, a single drive does not have enough throughput for comfortable overhead or multiple streams of video.
RAID: (Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive, depending who you ask) Disks
RAID is a method for providing faster throughput than single drives. It can also be used for providing access to larger pools of storage than single drives, as a result the RAID appears as one logical drive to the computer. The third advantage of using a RAID is that it can be set up with some degree of redundancy. Redundancy means that one of the drives can fail, without losing any data. Redundancy is available in RAID 1, 3, 5 and 6. There is a detailed explanation of RAID at Wikipedia for those who want to get further into the technicalities. Here we’ll summarize the important issues and make some recommendations, without being too detailed or technical.
