The Drive

The P900 is really compact, quite a bit smaller than many other external SSDs.


Compared to the P500, the width is similar, and the length has been reduced by quite a bit.


The outer shell of the P900 is made out of metal with a black matte paint job—very nice.


A single USB-C port lets you connect to the drive. An activity indicator is not available.


On the bottom you have a sticker with model info and warranty numbers.

Disassembly

On the SSD, we find four NAND chips and the SSD controller. A DRAM cache is not available.


The flash chips are Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND (B47R).


The Silicon Motion SM2320G is a modern design that combines the USB interface and SSD controller logic into a single processor. It uses four channels to connect to the flash chips and has support for QLC and TLC NAND.
