edited 11/27/2009: Mwave.com dropped their price again. now it is $230. if you check out with google, you will get another $20. with fat cash. the final price will be $205. make this deal really sweet.
The same Gen2 drive on Amazon is $244 shipped which beats the Mwave deal for californians and whoever else gets charged tax.
Only problem is it's not currently in stock (but sold by Amazon, qualifies for SSS and Prime) but a little birdie tells me they will ship in the first week of December.
Either way, thanks OP. Green! And too bad the ZZF deal is gone - that was a good price too.

FYI..the one one sold by Amazon is the Intel X25M 80GB Mainstream Solid State Drive Retail Boxed version (SSDSA2MH080G2R5) which include an installation kit that contains: 3.5" desktop drive bay adapter to 2.5" SSD adapter bracket, screws, installation guide, and warranty documentation. I just spoke with Amazon CS rep today who told me that the units are estimated to ship out Jan 4, 2010.
I think the answer is "size". One is 7.0mm and the other 9.5mm?
What I don't understand though... if you need a mounting kit for either, why does the 7.0mm always appear in stock and cheaper? I know the -R5 unit comes with a mounting kit, which to me indicates both the 7.0mm and 9.5mm unit need one.
The only difference between the *C1 and *01 is a 2.5mm plastic spacer that allows the HD to fit more snugly with some laptop installations. You can see the spacer here:
