US vs UK pricing
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB U133 16MB
mfr#: WD5000AAKB This drive on NewEgg versus the same drive on DABS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136111 http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...000,416 10000 It's $119.99 in the US, and £71.08 in the UK. £71 = $149. $119 = £59. So, in the UK I'm paying £0.14 per GB, or $0.30, but in the US I'm paying £0.12 per GB, or $0.24 I don't know if that scales to really big storage, but considering many companies in the UK have over 100 TB of storage it'd wind me up to have to pay extra for the exact same thing.

The extra pays for all those drives that disappear under the waves in that soggy little island. So, in the UK I'm paying £0.14 per GB, or $0.30, but in the US I'm paying £0.12 per GB, or $0.24 I don't know if that scales to really big storage, Its even worse there. but considering many companies in the UK have over 100 TB of storage it'd wind me up to have to pay extra for the exact same thing. The yanks have been winding you poms up for centurys now.
