[* black] Back to the business of taking things apart: next up are these twin SSDs.
[* black] Under a couple stickers we find some Torx screws. Off they go!
-[* black] Each Raw flash blade is designated Apple EMC 3197, model 656-0061A.
-[* black] The modules are inter-leaved to improve performance. The T2 is the NVMe/PCIe interface for the SSD's
+[* black] Each blade is designated Apple EMC 3197, model 656-0061A.
+[* black] Popping the shields off, we encounter some chips:
[* red] SanDisk SDRQF8DC8-128G (four per card, two top and two bottom, for a total of 512 GB × 2 = 1024 GB)
[* orange] Apple 338S00285
-[* black] Conspicuously absent here is any sign of an SSD controller. More on that in a minute.
