How the index is calculated
Every day Tosheroon records the lowest Amazon UK price of each of the 98 drives in this index.
Each price is divided by its pack size and capacity to give a price per TB; the index is the average of 8 categories, each counted equally.
A day with no new price carries the last one forward. The chart shows the last 12 months; the 12-month change compares the latest day with the first.
