    I've been scouring Amazon for a good deal on the EVO 500gb can anyone tell me what they mean by a " Single Unit Version"?

    I found one on eBay with the spacer for $245, order that instead.
    I was wondering if it had the spacer or not.

    Probably standard 2.5" with no 3.5" adapter for drive bays

    Single unit version should be be bundled with a spacer and just the drive.

    No SATA cables or transfer kit included.

    Had both a kit and single 830, they came with the spacer.

    Single unit packs of most SSD manufacturers should include a spacer and M500 comes with 1, the Intel 530 doesn't.

    The spacer is something you'll never use probably, all you have to do is simply mount the drive onto the hard drive cage, doesn't matter if its a 7mm or 9.5mm bracket because a 7mm SSD would fit snugly in both.
