Intel X25-M Question - Please Advise
Hi all, I am looking for some input on the purchase of an SSD for my computer. From what I have read, its one of the biggest upgrades I can do for my machine, as long as you go with the right one. I have been going back and forth between Newegg.com and Amazon, but can't seem to find the difference between 2 of the models.
I hear people talking about the G2 and firmware updates, etc - I just want to make sure I choose the right one.
I am looking at the 80GB model for my system drive, and the models I am looking at are:
Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2M080G2R5 2.5" 80GB
Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2C1 2.5" 80GB
G2R5 is around 269 on Amazon (Retail box, which i dont mind because it comes with the brackets) and G2C1 is around 250 OEM. Other than the model I dont see any difference.
If there are any experts out there please let me know your recommendations.
Thanks!
