Bought a WD elements 2TB at rs4650 from Letsbuy on 6th in a rush and now i think it was a good decision cause it is out of stock now there
I think its time to move on to SSDs now.
The demand for SSDs will shoot up and resulting in price reduction at a later stage.
So hold on your horses for the impulse buy at a later stage.

Two of my HDDs failed, one last week and another one yesterday 
One was Seagate 7200.12 1TB and another was WD Green 1TB. How long it would take to RMA in a time of HDD crysis like this. Ive filled the recovered data on my ext hdds, lappys and all other desktops. All of them are full. One more HDD fail and there goes all of my precious data. Now i think im really panicking

Can you please tell what kinda failure it was? and how and what u used to recover the data? Time it took?
SSD manufacturers are having a field day with all the HDD production problems. But I dont see any decrease in SSD prices. I am on the lookout for a decent 90+ GB SSD for use as a boot plus programs drive. Have my eye on the crucial m4 128GB or the Patriot Pyro SE 120GB. But it will set me back by 11-12k. Is it worth it??
Yeah just saw and 2 tb like 7K!!! Thats crazy to think.
Looks like I will be cleaning out a lot of junk form my drives now, instead of investing in more space.

Did you try using minipe?? Use it to try and recover your data...
