THE M560 2TB
As a DRAM-less drive the M560 is quite simple and so on one side we just find the SM2504XTF NAND flash controller and two BiCS 8 NAND flash modules.
On the other side we see the same sticker visible from the rear of the box.
Although I perform all tests with the motherboard heatsink installed (unless a drive comes ready with its very own heatsink), I wanted to check and see if thermal issues on the new Gen5 controllers was a thing of the past and as you can all see from the thermal images above, even at load the SM2504XTF didn't surpass 63 degrees Celsius (59 degrees in idle - 23 degrees ambient room temperature).
