What the difference between

INTEL SSDSA2MH080G2R5 X25M 80GB

and

INTEL SSDSA2MH080G2C1 X25M 80GB

I can see the R5 get a box but besides that?

I think one has that black mounting bracket...

Mwave tech support told me that the C1 is a newer drive with newer firmware, its that true?

No, they wouldn't be selling the drive with the older Firmware, as I believe Intel recalled them all. It just has to do with the bracket to make the drive the same height as a typical 2.5" drive.

So which one has the bracket and which one doesn't?
(we totally didn't need this complication, Intel)

The R5 is the retail one that with the retail box and bracket, they are the same price but I guess we can always update the firmware anyway, I don't see a reason why they still shipped with old firmware either.
