Intel x25-m, whats the difference between C1, R5, etc..

[mlah384]

I noticed that the part numbers on the new Intel X25-M drives are different... What's different about the drives? I see SSDSA2MH160G2C1 and SSDSA2MH160G2R5 on new egg... The C1 is $609 and the R5 is $659...

Thanks

C1 = OEM
R5 = Retail

O1 is also OEM, the difference?
R5 has a mounting bracket.
And I think the difference between the C1 and O1 is that either O1 or C1 (i think it is the C1) has a ... clear plastic thing on one side that makes it 1/8th of an inch thicker. (to fit more snugly into the standard notebook form factor, since the drive is actually slightly thinner than it should be)

In essence, you'd be paying $50 more for an included bracket and plastic spacer. Does that seem worth it to you?
