THE S80 480GB

The S80 is yet another 2.5", 7mm thick SSD so nothing really exciting in the looks department.

The model capacity along with several certification logos is printed on a sticker at the top of the drive.

Just a warranty void sticker can be seen at the base of the drive.

At the rear of the drive we find the typical SATA power and data connectors.

To open the housing you just need to remove 4 Philips screws located on the two sides of the drive (as you can see the bottom end of the PCB is reserved for the flash modules of the 960GB model).

On the opposite side we find a total of eight 64GB Toggle mode MLC NAND flash modules by Toshiba.

Right next to these modules we also find the PHISON PS3108-S8-I controller and a single 512MB NANYA DDR3-1600 SDRAM cache chip.
