How much does a hard disk cost?

Answer 1

You can get them pretty cheap nowadays. It ultimately depends on two factors. 1--Whether it is internal or external (Usually internal drives are cheaper than external ones)

2--Capacity in GB (the more gigabytes, the more money)

I just bought a Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB internal hard drive for $28 including taxes as well as a Hitachi 500 GB external hard drive for $54 including taxes just to give you an idea. A good place to look is Newegg online or you can try any decent computer, electronics, or office store locally wherever you live like maybe Fry's Electronics, Office Depot or Staples.

Answer 2

It varies, the more space you want the higher the cost. I recently baught a new HDD for my computer and it ran for about 325 dollars, for a fairly large HDD. Answer As the above poster has mentioned. Costs do vary, from country to country, and size of drive required. You can purchase used ones, from as little as £1.00 for smaller 4.3gb and less..

Hope this helps cadishead computers

Answer 4

The last I saw a 1tb was cheap for around 150. They are really cheap nowadays. I would say you should probably expect to spend anywhere from 70-200 dollars. Of course if you want a solid state drive that would be a LOT more.

Answer 5

That depends on the quality and the capacity. Prices will range from less that $100 to a few thousands.

Currently advancing in the field are solid state flash memories, such as are used in cameras and flash drives, and these will have an advantage of near instantaneous access speed, but presently at a higher cost.

With manufacturing economies of scale, these will become rapidly more available, with their first use in equipments where battery life is important. Such as Laptops.
