The SSD can be opened up and shows a full size PCB. This 6 Gbps (SATA3) storage unit makes use of Micron TLC 3D NAND. A total of four NAND flash memory ICs can be spotted on each side (thus 8 in total) of the PCB for the entire 1024 GB. The NAND FLASH partitions are assigned directly to the controller

Here we can see that proprietary HP controller. We have not been able to find any information on it. This likely is a 4-channel multi-core controller though with the ability of a possible 175 MB/s to 200 MB/s per channel throughput. It performs well as the results will show you.

As stated, the NAND used is the 3D NAND which we're sure is TLC written with a DRAM cache and SLC write buffer. This 1 TB SSD is guaranteed at 650 TB written (endurance), so it'll likely out-live your PC lifespan. The NAND ICs are unknown to me, likely rebadged Micron NAND though we're just not certain.

Here we see the backside of the PCB, again we see two NAND ICs. Less components needed equals a cheaper to produce product. You'll also notice the DRAM cache chip here, summing up towards to 1024 MB.
