Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2014-03-24
The latest Vector 150 SSD from OCZ is equipped with the 19nm Toggle MLC NAND from Toshiba, provides IO consistency after very long usage periods and is rated for no less than 50GB/day, which is more than twice compared to the previous models like the Vector (25nm MLC) or the Vertex 450 (20nm MLC).
Let’s begin with the SSD disassembly; after removing the four screws on the back, we had to gently lift the thin aluminum cover for not ruining the thermal pad between it and the controller:
On one of the sides of the PCB we will be able to see 8 NAND Flash chips around the controller, but also one memory cache:
The central controller comes with the IDX500M00 code name:
Each of the Toshiba TH58TEG7DDJBA4C (ABL Toggle-mode 19nm MLC NAND) incorporate two 64Gbit NAND devices:
One Micron D9PFJ 256MB DDR3-1600MHz chip can be also seen here and serves as cache:
On the other side of the PCB we will be able to see the other 8 remaining NAND Flash along with an additional 256MB of cache:
A Texas Instruments TPS652510 DC-DC converter with integrated FET can also be observed here:
