THE TRIACTOR 480GB

Once again Mushkin has used a clear plastic reusable package to ship the TRIACTOR SSD which allows you to take a look at the top.

The features and 3 year warranty for the SSD are all printed at a piece of cardboard placed inside the rear end of the package.

As expected the TRIACTOR 480GB SSD is nothing new in terms of design (the sticker at the top has the drive capacity, connectivity, serial and part numbers, product barcode and electrical requirements printed on it).

Nothing is found at the rear of the drive (the enclosure is held in place via 4 side screws).

The typical SATA III power and data connectors are located at the rear of the drive.

Once all 4 Philips screws are removed you can check the interior of the drive.

On one side of the PCB we see 8 1ZNM 256Gbit TLC NAND flash modules by SanDisk each 32GB in capacity.

Moving on the other side we see 8 more NAND flash modules (again 32GB each in capacity), the Nanya 256MB LPDDR DRAM module and the SM2256A SMI controller (a thermal pad was also placed over it to transfer heat onto the enclosure).
