Intel 320 thickness?

[mikeblas]

I'm thinking about buying a Intel 320 Series 600 GB drive for my MacBook Pro. I can't figure out if the model -- SSDSA2CW600G3B5 -- is 7.0mm or 9.5mm thick. The data sheet says it might be one of three sizes; 1.8 inches at 5.0mm thick, 2.5 inches at 7.0mm thick, or 2.5 inches at 9.5mm thick.

Which is which?

Well, it is for sure 2.5 inches. Not sure on the thickness.

iirc 9.5 and no spacer like the old x25m. only one are the sammy 830,afaik.

I found a selection guide that lays it out:

SSDSA2CW600G310 - 9.5mm OEM
SSDSA2CW600G3B5 - 9.5mm Retail
SSDSA2CW600G3K5 - 9.5mm Reseller
SSDSA2BW600G301 - 7.0mm OEM

In the part numbers, C means 9.5mm, B means 7.0mm, and N means 5.0mm.

As far as I know, the 7mm spacerless models are only available as OEM drive -- which means they have 1, not 5 year warranties. Only the retail packaged 320's have 5 year warranties, and they don't retail package the 7mm units... and that sucks.
