THE 845DC EVO 240GB

Just like the 840 EVO the 845DC EVO is an 2.5" 7mm thick SSD and carries the company name at the top.

As usual on the large sticker at the rear you will find information such as the drives serial and part numbers, barcodes, electrical specifications, factory rollout date, drive connectivity and several certification and warning logos.

Moving at the rear as expected we find the usual SATA power and data connectors.

The 240GB variant comes with a total of four 19nm 3-bit per cell MLC (TLC) Toggle NAND flash packages placed on one side of the PCB.

Although on the other side we see room for 4 more NAND flash packages the 240GB variant just has the controller, 512MB LPDDR2-1066 DRAM buffer chip and finally the Tantalum capacitors.

As mentioned earlier in this review the MEX 3-Core ARM Cortex-R4 8-channel controller runs at 400MHz and is virtually the same as the one used in the 840 EVO.
