One drive, six systems

Start with the physical map.

An SSD is a coordinated collection of memory, firmware, power delivery, and high-speed signaling. SSD Atlas makes each visible so that the terms in a datasheet have a place to land.

01

Controller

Schedules I/O, manages flash, and coordinates the drive’s work.

02

NAND

Stores data in non-volatile flash memory packages.

03

DRAM

Holds fast working data for mapping and firmware tasks.

04

PMIC

Regulates the power rails that keep the device stable.

05

PCB

Routes power and signals between every component.

06

Connector

Links the drive to the host through PCIe and NVMe.
