This SSD is new, for research. In this thread I will post anything interesting I find. I hope to include things like:
- Console access
- JTAG
- Firmware update, RE, tricks, tips
- Possibility of NAND chip off recovery
- Wear levelling/ECC/data Structures etc
- anything interesting

Feel free to add anything you might know or find out, or any comments, criticism etc. All I ask Is the thread stays on topic to this research.

On the board there is a 7pin unpopulated row of pins, and a couple of Test Point looking pads, but al in all, not much.

Chips are held secure with black epoxy, I assume to stop the BGA's from lifting, which is fairly common in other devices.. macbooks, Xboxe 360's etc. This makes it harder for us a little as well.
