    The current retail pricing of the Intel SSD 540s makes my recommendation quite simple: don't buy. The 180GB and 360GB models are only a few dollars cheaper than the next size up, and the four standard sized models are priced above many MLC drives. The OCZ TR150 provides better performance for a far lower price. The SanDisk X400 provides much better performance, the same 5-year warranty period of the 540s, and M.2 models for a significantly lower price.

    As a mainstream SSD, the 540s is just not competitive in either price or performance. Intel has gotten away with selling SSDs for a higher price than most competitors, but for the strategy to work the company has to give the product the performance to go with it. I have no doubt that the SSD 540s is a very reliable product, but I can say the same thing about the Samsung 850 EVO, and there is years of reliability data to prove it.

    Also add some profit for their payment surcharges.

    Payment Methods (instore/online):
    Cash - No
    Amex - Yes (2.5%)
    Visa/Mastercard - Yes (2.5%)
    Paypal Yes (3.0%)

    Apparently they also charge $2 to order in each out of stock product to their store
    Is this company serious?

  Don't expect to receive this inside of a month if at all. I've ordered from them on 3 occasions and it seems like they don't ship until you lodge a PayPal claim. One item arrived as described, one was refunded and I'm still waiting on the last.

  Never again.

  I ordered a Dell U2715H off them off eBay and the thing was shipped the next day. However, their eBay feedback isn't great with some pretty negative experiences (like yours) posted.

  I can only add my own positive experience from Warehouse1, but mileage may vary.
