| + | [* black] With the shields off, let's take a look at what's powering this sideways storage slate: |
| [* red] SanDisk SDRQKBDC4 064G 64 GB NAND flash memory (x4 for a total of 256 GB). | |
| [* orange] Apple 338S00227 | |
| [* yellow] Texas Instruments 58879D MOSFET | |
| [* green] F4432ACPE-GD-F Likely Micron 512 MB DDR2 RAM | |
| [* icon_note] On a hunch, we busted out the heat gun and flowed this chip off the board, hoping to find some Apple-custom hardware like last year's [guide|39841|MacBook|stepid=90315|new_window=true]. | |
| [* light_blue] And we did! Apple 338S00199 SSD controller | |
| [* icon_note] This marks the first time we've seen Apple's super-custom SSD controller in a removable PCIe SSD. |
