I don't think that's true. They have come down but not to the absurdly cheap level they were before the flood. As an anecdote, I purchased a 2 TB hard drive just a few months before the flood for $60 from Newegg. Now, the cheapest 2 TB drive on Newegg is $100. So, they have come down but still haven't recovered. This is why I haven't been able to bring myself to buy another 2 TB drive because I know I'd be paying a 50% premium over what I paid last time.
