Product Showcase
The SSD can be opened up easily enough after which the PCB and its components become visible. Once you open it up, you see the backside of the PCB. And it has no components whatsoever other than four NAND ICs.
The controller was covered by thermal padding. The outer casing is aluminum, so that controller is making use of that as a cooling block? To the left you see the SATA 3 connector. This 6Gbps storage unit makes use of 15nm TLC NAND from Toshiba (BiCS 64-layers).
Toshiba did not share any info on this controller and due to that thermal padding, the inscription is washed out, I cannot read it out properly.
For this version which you are looking at 8 NAND flash memory ICs. The NAND FLASH partitions are arranged directly towards the proprietary in-house Toshiba controller. The SSD does not use a DRAM cache, instead it uses a chunk of its NAND cells and invokes an SLC written cache to speed up the majority of writes.
