Confusing Seasonic part numbers
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 10:15 am
I'm looking at the new Seasonic X-series and Platinum series power supplies but am very confused about the part numbers.
For example, with regards to the new Platinum 660W part, I see the part on the Seasonic USA site (http://www.seasonicusa.com/Platinum_Series_XP2.htm) referenced as SS-660XP2 (sometimes the "2" is superscripted, other times it is not). But on Newegg, it looks like the same part is listed as SS-660XP without the "2". Are these the same or different parts?
Or with the Platinum fanless 520W part, I see it at some web stores with the "2" ("SS-520FL2") and some without ("SS-520FL"). Are these the same or different parts?
These parts are all so new that I doubt they came out with an original version and then quickly replaced them with a "2" version.
