Comay Venus Pro 3 240GB SSD

On the outside the Venus Pro 3 looks like just about any other 2.5"� form factor, 9.5mm z-height SSD with a brushed aluminum case and a silk screened logo on the front.

The back has a couple of stickers, one that gives the specifications and features of the drive. The other sticker has the model name and the serial number.

All of the mounting points are located where they should be.

The SATA power and data connectors are also where they should be. You won't run into any issues installing this drive in your notebook or desktop with an adapter bracket (not included). It is too big for your ultrabook.

If you think I was rushing through everything above to get to something, you are correct. This is what I want to talk about, the actual PCB of the Venus Pro 3. Here you can see the exposed copper of the PCB where all of the screw positions are. In these places, the aluminum case contacts the copper and heat gets transferred to the case. It's a nice feature and one that we rarely see.

On this side we get to see the CapXX capacitor and some of the power regulation circuits. There are 16 Intel 25nm NAND flash chips in total, eight on each side.
