Intel SSD Product Code Difference

GregI · 3 Oct 2011 at 23:24

I am going to purchase my first SSD. I had this one in my sights.

SSDSA2CW080G3K5

I then looked elsewhere and found an identical Intel 80 gb but the number it stated was SSDSA2CW080G3B5

The numbers are identical besides the ending. The OcUK is K5 and the other ends in B5.

Anyone know why they are different? OcUK is about 30 quid cheaper than elsewhere for the B5 model

I will need to check but I think the k one is retail while the b one is bulk (OEM).

I thought it was that but both products stated retail. The OEM product code is SSDSA2CW080G310 from what I can gather.

Link here has both codes.

With K5 suffix being reseller pack and B5 being retail pack.
