Where can you get this in India?

Now that 1 TB drives are down to US $260, and fast falling daily-then pricing of 18.5k is predatory.

gr8 performance "'Considering the price/performance ratio and the novelty of being a 1TB drive, the premium is justified, but it will take a lot of price cuts before it becomes a more popular choice for the average consumer."' I guess which average customer needs 1000gb?? Its only for gamers.
