Referencing the model number in this article The model number for the 34nm X25-M Postville G2 drives is SSDSA2MH080G2C1.

A lot of the online retailers plus local retailers are calling that a X25-M Mainstream drive. Such as Newegg.ca here.

Others are selling the same model number as a 34nm X25-M Postville drive. Such as NCIX here.

Do the 34nm X25-M Postville's and X25-M Mainstream share the same G2 model number? Is there any way to ensure that I'm looking at a Postville instead of Mainstream since the model numbers seem to match? I ask so that I can price match and get the best deal at my local store, which I can't price match a Postville with a Maintream.
 
I think Mainstream is refering to the classification (vs Extreme for the X25-E) and Postville is a codename for the 34NM G2 version. What matter more is to check the model number to make sure it's G2 and not the older G1. The last 2 letters depend if it is a retail or oem (C1 seems to be OEM and R5 is Retail IIRC).
 
Yeah for the last to digits C1 is OEM and R5 is retail which includes the mounting bracket.

That would make sense though, that the M in X25-M stands for Mainstream and E for Extreme. Can anyone else confirm this?

The article also confirms that the 34nm is codename Postville. With all the mixed descriptions I've been reading, is it certain that all G2 model numbers are 34nm codename Postville?
 
This will be like the fourth time I have posted this in this forum.

It is taken from the Intel PDF found here.

I get the model number ordering from Intel. My question is that some retailers I look at mark the drive as a Postville drive, and some mark the drive as a Mainstream. I want to make sure that if it's a G2 model number that it is indeed a Postville (34nm) drive regardless if the retailer marks it Postville or Mainstream.
