I searched and did not see any posts about it. Newegg has the Plextor M3
Series PX-256M3 2.5" 256GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive for $299.99
after $40 off with promo code HARDOCPX118E. It has a good reviews on
newegg and an Editor's choice from storage review.

Same controller than the M4 from crucial and performs similar for the
reviews I saw. Most likely they are trying to discount them for the new
model which is exptected in Feb.

Still nice and reliable drive for only $300
