THE TS-431X2-8G INTERIOR

Accessing the interior of the NAS is easy since you just need to remove the rear screws and then push the large section backwards.

Even though the exterior is made out of hard plastic the HDD cage and other internal parts are made out of aluminum.

Although we never like taking apart something which may get damaged in the process we can still see the 8GB DDR3L RAM by Transcend, NAND flash chip by Macronix, USB 3.0 Host Controller chip by EtronTech and finally the black heatsink over the Annapurna Labs AL-314 ARM Cortex-A15 CPU.

Equipped with 4 Seagate Enterprise NAS 6TB SATA III hard disk drives the TS-431X2-8G is ready to roll.
