You might also see SSD get larger and cheaper sooner then expected.

Before the floods I was able to buy a 3TB HDD WD Green for $130 on Newegg. I want those prices back!

Got my 3TB Hitachis for $120 each, before $10 MIR.

Months would be too long. Prices would return to normal by then, since they are already gradually declining.

They need to drop now....

2-3months to recover a section is about right, i mean, they'll test the remaining equipment if they still work, replace the damaged equipment which requires more paperworks than you may think of because of the funds, contract of where to get the equipment and settlement of the files, plus re-synchronizing everything from scratch. and this is only a section of a factory.

Gradually being relative. Ive been checking prices every couple of weeks and it doesnt seem to change but once a month and only by ~$20. Ive seen prices drop faster before this flood and that was only because of technology advances.
