THE UV400 480GB

 Once again Kingston sent us the standalone package and not the upgrade bundle version.

Warranty information is printed at the rear of the box in many languages.

Unfortunately although other standalone versions feature a 7mm to 9.5mm bracket the UV400 comes alone (first all-silver model by Kingston).

A small sticker placed at the rear of the drive contains information such as the serial number, barcode, capacity, electrical specifications, firmware version and several certification and warning logos.

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

Opening the enclosure is not hard if you have a Torx T5H screwdriver.

At the bottom part of the PCB we see 8 Toshiba NAND flash modules each 32GB in capacity (the Kingston name is printed on them).

On the other side of the PCB we also see 8 Toshiba NAND flash modules but this time right next to the 512MB LPDDR3 DRAM module by Nanya and the quad channel 88SS1074 NAND flash controller by Marvell.
