A few days ago, I purchased two external LaCie hard drives from B&H Photo for a project. I received the hard drives today and realized I need a third drive. I went back to the B&H website, and I was surprised to notice that prices have gone up significantly since I placed my order just a few days ago:

LaCie 4TB Rugged SSD Pro5 Thunderbolt 5 External SSD price from a few days ago:

LaCie 4TB Rugged SSD Pro5 Thunderbolt 5 External SSD price now (from $1,429 to $1,599, or around 12% up):

LaCie 5TB Rugged USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive price from a few days ago:

LaCie 5TB Rugged USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive price now (from $219.99 to $239.99, or around 9% up):

If you are planning to buy any kind of memory storage, I strongly suggest you do it asap before the next price increase kicks in. Amazon is pretty much out of stock on many popular storage devices, but I noticed that B&H Photo still has many in stock.

ProGrade and OWC already announced price increases – all other brands will follow soon:

ProGrade memory cards price increase coming on May 1st, others will follow

OWC announced a memory card price increase, while B&H is running a sale on Lexar memory cards
