  • Back to the business of taking things apart: next up are these twin "SSDs”.

  • Unlike a standard SSD, which has the controller logic onboard, these raw flash modules only have an interface buffer—the PCIe/NVMe controller lies elsewhere. More on that in a bit.

  • Under a couple stickers we find some Torx screws. Off they go!

  • Each blade is designated Apple EMC 3197, model 656-0061A.

  • Popping the shields off, we encounter some chips:

  • SanDisk SDRQF8DC8-128G (four per card, two top and two bottom, for a total of 512 GB × 2 = 1024 GB)

  • Apple 338S00285 power management IC (likely)

Zurück zum Zerlegen desTeils: Als nächstes kommen diese Doppel-SSDs.

Unter ein paar Aufklebern finden wir einige Torx-Schrauben. Los geht's!

Jedes Blade trägt die Bezeichnung Apple EMC 3197, Modell 656-0061A.

Wenn wir die Abschirmungen abnehmen, stoßen wir auf einige Chips:

SanDisk SDRQF8DC8-128G (vier pro Karte, zwei oben und zwei unten, für insgesamt 512 GB × 2 = 1024 GB)

Apple 338S00285 Power-Management-IC (wahrscheinlich)

Im Gegensatz zu einer Standard-SSD, die die Controller-Logik an Bord hat, haben diese Raw-Flash-Module nur einen Schnittstellenpuffer – der PCIe/NVMe-Controller liegt woanders. Mehr dazu gleich.
