Both of these drives are 2nd generation X-25Ms but what is the difference in firmware/performance. Is the g2c1 merely an oem version and the g2r5 retail? Thanks in advance. Does the retail package drive get anything signficant additional in the box?

Zero performance/firmware difference. The retail one comes with a 3.5" drive bay adapter bracket and a pretty box is all. r5 is the retail boxed one.
Thank you. One more question. It says that the height of the x25-m SSD is 9.5mm. That sounds pretty thick. Is that too thick to put into a laptop or PS3?
Edit I just found out that the momentus 7200.4 laptop hd is 9.5mm in height so I think it would fit. Thanks.
I'll be using an Icy Dock adapter and it looks like that will fit a 9.5mm ssd.
PS the X-25M is now on the way from Tigerdirect. Thanks for the info! I'm getting $32 bing cashback for the SSD. Tigerdirect is now offering 12% BCB!
