We have purchased stock to last the next 3 months which has pushed the price up on our system builder for the main hard drive models. We have lowered the margin to balance this out.
We have reduced the number of "more option" drives until more supply is available.
We have increased the number of solid state "more option" drives and lowered the price on all solid state drives which are not affected by the shortage.
