Difference between these two Intel SSDs? [SOLVED]

[PkennethV]

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering what the differences between these two SSDs are? They are pretty much exactly the same price, and the model numbers are quite similar...

and

This would be for a Macbook Pro 17" unibody.

thanks!

OEM vs retail packaging. The drive itself is identical.

I think the retail version comes with a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket, though I doubt you will need it. Go with the cheaper one.

First of all, those have recently been $400 or so, watch their prices, they fluctuate a lot.

The second one is the retail package, so it has the mounting bracket.

Someone beat me to it

Intel chose to be difficult and assign different numbers to the OEM, retail and other markets .. however the product is the same in actuality.
