Personally I pulled the trigger on the Sabrent Rocket Q (PCIE 3.0 x4) 2TB drive which recently fell to~$170, and I'd guess a similar or better deal will be available for BF (though I couldn't wait). It seems like a better drive to me in many respects, for a better price. *Edit, details for reference:

Now, can't wait for all the specifications fanatics to pop on here and scold us in the comments for considering anything below a PCIE 4.0 drive running at eleventeen-gigahertz...

It's a terrible drive, 3.0 and not 4.0, 1800/1800MB/s which is lame these days, and endurance is terrible as well for a 2TB drive, only 400TBW, usually 2TB drives have 1200+TBW endurance. Also, 220k IOPs is very basic.
I say it's a waste of money at this price. If it was $90 that's a different story.
