[SOLVED] Is this a good deal/worth buying? Intel SSD 545s

[jaged]

I got an email flyer from a computer distributor in another province(Canada).

They are selling a 256gb SATA Intel SSD 545s for $69.99 canadian.
Regularly $99.99.

Write: 500MB/s

I haven't seen much on here about this particular drive so I thought i would ask you folks.

Thanks.

It is Intel, so it will be decent. Their partnership with Micron is still in force.

Seems about average price for a 240-256GB drive in Canada. Western Digital Blue, Crucial MX500 are the same price right now.

Thanks for the reply. I just don't recall ever seeing this on any "best of" lists that you see from time to time so I thought I would ask.
