PNY XLR8 120 GiB SSD Review
Internal Parts
Contents
The top side of the printed circuit board features four 16 GiB memory chips. Turning the PCB over reveals another four 16 GiB memory chips alongside the controller. Probably, the 240 GiB version just comes with twice the chips, since there are empty spaces for four additional memory chips at each side.
