While the aren't a lot of details on the front, the back of the box has a small picture of the SSD as well as some information regarding its features, specifications and box contents. Inside, you'll find the PX-128M1S, a quick installation guide, warranty card and a CD containing Acronis True Image.
Physical Features:
Like Plextor's optical drives, their new SSD is very well constructed. The PX-128M1S's outer casing is made out of cast aluminum. Along with it being strong and durable, the casing is very lightweight. On top of that, its brushed aluminum finish and machined edges look great.
The PX-128M1S is one of the first drives to use Marvell's "Da Vinci" 88SS8014-BHP2 controller chip. Compared to the controllers from companies like SandForce, Indilinx and JMicron, very little is known about the 88SS8014-BHP2. Looking at the pictures below, you can see that both sides of the PCB are covered in memory chips. For the PX-128M1S, Plextor opted to use Samsung's K9HCG08U1M-PCB0 NAND flash chips. The PX-128M1S also has a single 64MB Hynix HY5DU121622DTPB memory chip that is used for caching.
