Promotional USB Prices on the Rise - What We're Doing Offset Costs

Sharon Santino, Mar 21, 2011

The price of silicon semiconductor wafers - a product commonly used in electronic devices like USBs - has recently surged due to concerns over the massive March 11th, 2011 earthquake in Japan. According to iSuppli, a global market research firm, 25 percent of the world's material needed to create these chips was halted by the disaster. This means that the price of promotional USBs Drives may rise.
