Presumably the demand isn't there, £1200 is a lot for a consumer drive and spinning rust is 1/3 the price.

    Demand might be low, but on the other hand the cost to develop and manufacture a run of the drives may not be too high either.

    I do have to say the increase in flash memory prices haven't helped. A year ago I bought the Samsung 8TB drive for $300 (US). If they had a 16TB model for $600-$700 I would have bought it.
