Seems like a good deal for this drive

If folks are looking for cheap storage Leven on Amazon has a 4TB SATA drive for $290. Looks like the price went up by $20 recently, so would buy the Crucial if the extra $25 is not a big deal.
If your looking for cheapest $/T 2TB cacheless SSDs are hitting <$100. So technically 4TB drives should be $200 not $315. But that is on the horizon assuming 4TB becomes the mfg sweetspot.
Keep in mind the lowest $T fits the higher speed mass storage use case. Dram less designs tend to slow down a lot when the SLC cache fills up. If your going for the fastest single drive for your PC then get an M.2 PCIe drive from a name brand. If your looking for cheap fast storage (read is close to the name brands, write slows down but you don't do it often or your application is slower than the drive e.g. video downloads) then the cheapest SATA drives are great. my problem why I'm looking at the 4TBs (a lot more expensive) is I'm running out of SATA ports from buying cheaper smaller SSDs over time.
