werent people saying that we'd still be feeling the effects of the HDD shortage well beyond march 2012??

By "effects", they're right. We won't get September 2011 prices for a while, but prices will considerably cool down. While we now pay 200~300% of September's prices, we'll be paying about 120~150% then. WD will use that to offset rebuilding costs.

Are SSD's also affected by this crap?

its too long to wait to get a cheap 1tb HDD for £40! Ive RMA'd an old Spinpoint F1, but if they send me back a 500Gb F3 then id be kinda screwed even though it is a faster drive its got 250GB less capacity and I really could use the space :/
