Product Showscase (Innards)

So once we remove the heatsink we remove you can see it is all properly cooled by thermal-padding leading towards the nice looking heatsink. Here we can see the PCB a little better and see a Marvell controller. With these you get the full TRIM support and garbage collection under Windows 7/8/10 or deleting files off, will result in LBAs being TRIMed. If you look all the way upwards you can see a LED array, this reacts to writes and reads, in idle the LEDs fades in and out.  We do not spot any extra data-protection here in case of a power failure. 

Toshiba TH58TFT1T23BAEF. The NAND memory in use is Toshiba fabbed TLC Toggle mode written Stacked Vertical NAND. You will find only two of these at the front-side holding 256GB per NAND chip. Yeah, that's stacked NAND cells for you matey, otherwise, you just cannot get so much storage volume in there.
 

 
Sitting in the middle is a NANYA chip (Nanya NT6CL128M32BM-H2), this would be low power LPDDR3 4Gb DRAM (512MB) chip is present for some extra DRAM caching.  
 

And down below as close as possible to the interface the controller, hard to read out but that is a Marvell 88SS1093 controller that offers hardware automated NVMe support and 15nm TLC/MLC/SLC and thus 3D NAND.
