Package

The Drive

The outer shell of the Treasure Touch is made out of brushed metal, which looks very elegant, but does pick up finger prints fairly easily.


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


On the other side, you'll find some branding by Team Group.


This is where the magic happens. The bright transparent stripe will light up in RGB colors.


You can choose from among various patterns, the first of which is "rainbow," which looks mighty good. To make changes, double-tap the Team Group logo with your fingers. A triple tap will turn on/off the RGB lighting. A single touch doesn't do anything, which makes sense as you'd trigger that function quite often by accident.


In addition to that, there's one-color strobing in white, blue, green, and yellow.

Disassembly

Taking the drive apart is relatively simple; push apart the outer clamshell and slide out the drive.


This silvery metal dot is not a battery, but the sensor for the touch capability.


Inside, we find a black PCB that handles conversion from USB to SATA, and a green PCB with a classic 2.5" SATA SSD.


Ten RGB LEDs sitting behind a diffuser light up the drive.


On the SSD itself are eight NAND chips, the SSD controller, a two DRAM chips, and the USB-to-SATA bridge chip.


The Silicon Motion SM2268H is a highly popular 4-channel flash controller, which we've seen on the Crucial MX500 before.


The flash chips have been rebranded. They are Samsung 64-layer 3D TLC flash.


JMS580 is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 to SATA 6 Gbps controller by JMicron.


Two Hynix DRAM chips provide a total of 1 GB of fast DRAM storage for the controller to store the mapping tables.
