I'd say wait for Black Friday or troll Newegg's daily deals.

You know you can swap between HDDs as long as the firmware is the same, right? Even getting a temporary one just to run a game or so is more than alright. I swapped between my two HDDs for exactly that reason. The old one will still be viable as long as you keep their firmware the same. Get a cheap/free one until you hit your price point as swapping takes less than a minute.

I only have 1. I need to buy a second. Might as well spend that little extra I would've spent on the cheap one to get a better one the first time.

People might want to wait out upgrading their hard drive for a few months:
