Before we can have a peek, we need to peel off the casing. The front-facing side holds the controller, just two NAND chips in total and a DRAM chip (cache) on one side of the PCB. With the sticker removed we see the top of the SSD, it holds two NAND chips on the top side, none on the back, one Micron DRAM cache chips sitting close to the Silicon motion controller. Typically this is set up in a 1:1 fashion, so it should be a 1024 DRAM cache buffer in total.
