Intel x25-m SSDSA2M160G2HP

I just bought a 160gb intel ssd and was wondering about the seriel number SSDSA2M160G2HP its the HP on the end that im looking at, im guesing its maybe something to do with hp laptops although it is a retail sealed box, so far i cant find any info on this drive apart from a benchmark page on passmark where it shows it performing 300 points over the other gen2 drives.

I would like to know what the difference is between the drives and why it would get a higher score?

Is it a genuine intel product?

Note that this is an OEM part number, you can check the warranty status of an Intel(R) product at the following link:

The main difference between an OEM part and a retail unit from intel is that the retail unit have three or five years of warranty depending of the Solid State Drive family or product, the OEM does not have warranty with Intel(R) at all only with the place of purchase or OEM integrator if they offer any warranty at the product.
