[foscooter]

What is the difference between Intel 520 models SSDSC2CW060A310 and SSDSC2CW060A3K5 besides the $15.00 price difference?
Is one OEM, and one retailer packaged?

Correct, the A3K5 is Reseller Packaged, and the A310 is OEM Packaged.

This is from Intel's website:

Here is some additional information on the differences between the packaging on the Intel® SSDs (including the 320s, 510s and the new 520s). The Part # will end with a 10, K5 or B5 based on that information you will be able to tell what comes in the box with the SSD.

If the part # ends with 10 it comes with the SSD, warranty, a sticker and in a brown box.

If the part # ends with K5, it is the reseller box and comes with:
*The SSD
*One-page flyer with web links
*Mini CD-Rom with installation and warranty documents.
*Desktop install kit:
-Drive bracket and screws
-SATA signal cable
-SATA power cable

If the part # ends with B5, it is the retail box and comes with:
*The SSD
*One-page flyer with web links
*Mini CD-Rom with installation and warranty documents.
*Desktop install kit:
-Drive bracket and screws
-SATA signal cable
-SATA power cable
*Notebook install kit:
-USB to SATA cable
-Protective sleeve
-Screwdriver

I guess this finally answers my question of the difference between the 'SSDSC2BW120A401' & ' SSDSC2BW120A4K5' cheers
The shop i was going to get it from said both were OEM pack but that must be lies hopefully
Weird how intel doesn't have any information on their website about the K5 Edition =P
