INTEL SSDSA2MH080G201 X25M 2.5in 80GB SATA 3.0 7mm Solid State Drive
and a
Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2C1 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal SSD

I don't know if there is any difference between those two drives, as the first can't be found on Intel's website.
Also the only difference between the two names is the character before the last:

SSDSA2MH080G2 0 1
SSDSA2MH080G2 C 1


But S-ATA II and S-ATA 3.0 are the same names for S-ATA 3.0 Gbit/s drives and interfaces.
