As the name states the Slim S60 features a 7mm thin aluminum 2.5" housing that has both the company logo and model capacity printed at the top.

Several certification logos are placed at the bottom along with the warranty sticker (if you decide to open the housing you are voiding your warranty).

The usual SATA power and data connectors can be seen at the rear.

Accessing the interior of the SSD is very easy since Silicon Power uses regular Philips screws to secure it.

The rear side of the PCB has 8 empty spots which are obviously taken up by NAND flash memory modules on the highest capacity model of the S60 line (480GB).

On the opposite side we see 8 IMFT (Intel/Micron) 25nm NAND flash memory modules each 32GB in capacity (this results to 256GB but 16GB are used by the SandForce controller for its firmware and overprovisioning needs).

Of course the SandForce SF-2281 NAND flash controller is also present here.
