They'll still be priced in multiples of 1TB...

So what difference will it make? i.e. 8TB drive will be approx 4x the price of a 2TB one.

Seagate / WD seem to be price fixing larger capacity drives. It's about time they were investigated, as said pricing 'virtually' per 1TB, not based on the cost of the actual hardware, to produce such capacities.

Doesn't help that some of their biggest users are currently Governments/Security Services, so don't expect any investigation anytime soon.
