Removing the aluminium shield was simple enough as it is held on with just four screws. The only item it actively cools is the on-board raid controller (below) and during intense use we didn't notice any excessive heat so we would question the need for such a large heatsink. Not that we are complaining of course because it looks great!


Above is a shot of the OCZ SAS RAID controller. The product code ICT-0262 tells us that this is most likely the same controller used on the previous Revodrive3x2


The SSD controller(s) are found on the exposed side of the product of which there are 4 leading us to believe that the 480GB is at its roots 4x120GB SSD's crammed together on one PCB. Of course there is more tech' to this theory but in essence this is how OCZ have managed to extract so much speed from the Revodrive. Strange though that OCZ chose to make use of the LSI SandForce SF-2282VB1 controller over their own Indilinx controller, given that it was used in their recent Vector drive.


Powering the card we find a combination of the LATTICE ispPAC-POWR1220AT8 controller. This is a general-purpose power-supply monitor, sequence and margin controller which coupled with three DC to DC converters, each with an integrated inductor, PWM controller, MOSFETs and compensation provides the smallest solution size in an 10x11x3mm 76-pin QFN module courtesy of Enpirion.


Finally we see OCZ's parent company, Toshiba, are the company which have provided the 19nm Flash chips which are shared between both sides of the PCB.
