Seasonic SSR-850TR vs PRIME-TX-850 ???

Klips_USA · February 8, 2020

Ok, I hope this is just a marketing thing, but I ordered a Seasonic Prime Ultra 850w (SSR-850TR), but received a Prime TX-850. On the side of the box, it states the Model is a “PRIME TX-850”. Just below that, it states the Safety Model Name is “SSR-850TR”. It looks like the same thing, but there are two different links on Seasonics’ website for each unit.

Can anyone tell me if I am OK? Did I get the high quality product I thought that I was ordering?

Looking at both links and digging into the specs. Everything appears to be the same with regards to the PSU specs, but it appears the supplied cables are not the same. There is a different cable combinations/count and they no longer supply a Molex to FDD adapter. Not sure that matters to me.

There should not be much difference between the two. Here is a the link to explain the name change. https://seasonic.com/oneseasonic They say it is " to streamline our product naming for simplicity and easier recognition." They call it "Our New Initiative: OneSeasonic". Also according to Initiative you do have the newer of the two.
