Almost, but not quite. The Vertex 3 was one of the best SSDs at that time. Had one of the better Sandforce controllers with proper MLC flash but, had to write compressible data to obtain these speeds.
It has no temperature sensor so it cannot compensate for temperature or understand its environment. It doesn't have a TBW rating (IIRC) and reports writes and reads in GiB. So it's somewhat limited when compared to today's drives.

OTOH, it's pretty dependable and stable so far.
