THE MX500 4TB

The MX500 4TB uses an aluminum housing that has an large sticker at the top with the two letters of the line.

A smaller sticker placed at the base of the drive contains various details including the installed firmware version, product part and serial numbers, interface and country of assembly.

The typical SATA III data and power connectors are located at the rear.

Just like with past models the enclosure is held in place with tiny screws so it's very easy to access the interior.

This side of the PCB only has two Micron 3D TLC NAND flash modules.

Turning the PCB around we find the Silicon Motion SM2259 quad-channel controller, 512MB DDR3L SDRAM module by Micron and two more 3D TLC NAND flash modules again by Micron.
