Yep, but more a question of when and how much money you have burning a hole in your pocket. As you use FC, I guess you will be upgrading to FC3. If you are, I would hold of on the purchase for a little while. When FC3 drops, get the drive and do a fresh install. Then move stuff over from the old install.
