Once again our sample arrived inside a static-free plastic bag without any kind of bundle.

Enterprise class products are all about what's inside so in terms of appearance the 7mm thick PX02SMF020 is nothing special.

The usual information such as the serial number, barcode, connectivity, electrical requirements, capacity, roll out date, firmware (Toshiba has upgraded the model to the latest version) and country of manufacture are placed on the large sticker found at the top of the drive.

At the other side of the drive we see 7 holes on the housing probably used for lower interior temperatures.

At the rear we see the usual SATA data and power connectors along with 4 small pins probably used for firmware updating.

Opening the drive is very easy (just 4 screws holding the housing together) so once you remove the top you will see several thermal pads which are used to transfer heat from both the NAND and DRAM chips to the aluminum housing.

The drive features a total of 16 EMLC NAND Flash Modules by Toshiba (24nm) each 16GB in size (256GB in total) however only 200GB are available the other 56GB are used by the controller.

Right next to the Marvell TC58NC9036GTC controller we see the 256MB DRAM chip by Hynix.
