I'm trying to help a friend get himself a new iMac with a 1TB hard drive. He's having a hard time finding one in stock. Anyone know of any secret stashes?

Go with a 256 GB drive and add an external?

Maybe a nice T7, or a X8, or a DIY. About $130 for 1 TB.

A friend ordered a 1tb iMac this Sat and got a mid July delivery date.

Great link. Thanks.

I have a bunch on order that haven't shipped. Local Mac reseller doesn't have any in stock.

There's hope that it will arrive a little early.

Some orders with mid-June shipping estimates are already marked as shipped.

Then again, Seagate just informed us that our latest hard drive shipment has slipped 8 weeks. There's a global electronics shortage. It may get worse before it gets better.

The 2 TB NVMe I want is up $30 in the last few. =(

There is a new cryptocurrency that uses storage instead of gpu/cpu. SSD and hard drives will continue to get harder to buy if it really catches on.

I may need to order an iMac for work now - might arrive around Sept…
