THE RC500 500GB

The RC500 500GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD follows the typical 2280 form factor (22mm wide and 80mm long).

At the top of the drive we see four BiCS 96-layer TLC NAND flash modules, each 128GB in size.

The Toshiba/KIOXIA quad-channel NAND flash controller is also here right next to the 512MB DDR4 SDRAM module by SKhynix.

Taking a look on the other side of the PCB we see that it's empty (probably populated in the 1TB model) and only has a sticker with the usual information such as capacity, electrical specifications and several certifications.
