Just a quick teardown today, we have the Kingston 60GB SSDNow300 SSD with model code SV300S37A/60G.
One problem with this SSD are the screws, they are the security torx screws which I didn’t have any screwdrivers available for. Somehow using a small flathead I was able to break off the middle pin so I can now access it using it regular torx screwdriver.
We’re in and there isn’t a whole lot, just 8x NAND chips and the memory controller.
You can see they have thermal compound on the panels to take away some of the heat from the chips.

I couldn’t find anything on these other than people suspect they are re-branded Toshiba chips.

Once again nothing much on this one apart from it’s a Sandforce chip.
