The 470 is presented in a clear plastic case. The front actually has nothing to indicate what this product is or what it’s about. We have to spin it over for some brief details regarding the features and specifications. The front does give us a preview of the 470 SSD with its metallic exterior.
Cunningly, Samsung have displayed 470MB/s in large typography with “Read + Write” in smaller type. This 470MB/s is in fact a combination of both read and write transfer rate since we are dealing with SATA 2

Opening the case up we have the SSD itself and a user manual. Aside from this there are no added extras within the bundle.
The bundle is scares of any bonus material
The SSD itself has a metallic plate cover with a brushed aluminium appearance to it. The Samsung insignia is placed right in the centre with the capacity clearly indicated in the bottom left corner. For a 2.5” device this is a good looking product.

Spinning the SSD over we have the typical mounting holes for fitting the drive into your computer case, the product label containing the serial number – critical information and standards involved with the 470. Since this SSD is SATA2 we have the SATA 2 port connector and SATA power connector at the back of the drive.
