THE CARBONX 1TB

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measuring 120mm in length, 50mm in width and 17.5mm in thickness the aluminum and rubber enclosure of the CarbonX is medium in size.

 

 

To understand what i mean by that i placed the CarbonX right next to the Rocket Pro by Sabrent, SE760 by ADATA, TB2-T3 by YottaMaster Z7S by NETAC and the PC60 by Silicon Power.

 

 

The surrounding rubber bumper is there to make sure that the drive doesn't get damaged if you happen to drop it.

 

 

Of course, you can always remove it although I’d recommend against that.

 

 

The enclosure has an activity LED and the USB-C port on its left side seen above.

 

 

Removing the interior is very easy (just 2 screws hold it in place).

 

 

On the top of the PCB, we see the mounting areas for M.2 2232/2240/2260/2280 SSDs and the ASMedia ASM2362 bridge chip.

 

 

Turning the PCB over we see the M.2 PCIe NVMe drive with its SM2263ENG NAND flash controller and its 4 (2 on each side) 96-layer QLC NAND flash packages by Micron.
