Question about Samsung SSD's?

[Sneblot]

So why the price difference between the Samsung 256GB SSD 830 Desktop Series SATA 6Gb/s KIT with Norton Ghost @ £179.99 and the Samsung 256GB SSD 830 Notebook/Apple Series SATA 6Gb/s KIT with Norton Ghost @ £155.99?

I only ask as they seem to have exactly the same specs.

The drives are exactly the same.

The "desktop" version includes a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket with screws and SATA data & power cables.

The "notebook" version inludes a SATA to USB adapter cable and a mounting spacer so that it fits in the space for 9.5mm thick disks.

Just buy the "notebook" version and a SATA data cable if you don't have one.

If you really want/need a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket then just buy one separately.

SSDs can be tucked pretty much anywhere you want or secured with velcro, double sided tape etc.

The actual SSD is identical.

It's the included options that are different.

Ok thanks for confirming what I thought to be the case.

Have the notebook version in my desktop and can confirm what Surveyor has said, LOL, I'd been contemplating this same Q for a while now too!
