According to Taiwan analyst company TrendForce, storage makers Western Digital and now Seagate have sent letters to customers warning them that the companies will be raising prices on hard drives. WD's letter said that it would be raising prices on SSDs, too.
"[D]emand recovery continues across several segments of our business and our reduced manufacturing capacity is limiting our ability to meet all of our customers' demand and is resulting in longer lead times," the letter says, signed by BS Teh, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Seagate. "As a result, we will be implementing price increases effective immediately on new orders and for demand that is over and above previously committed volumes."
