I'm surprised they managed to fit the controller, DRAM, and 4x NAND on a single side of 2280.
It doesn't have a secret 4x NAND on the underside, does it?

aluminum heatsink coated with a radioactive black aluminate and is more geared toward PlayStation 5 owners

So does this glow-in-the-dark or emit a couple rads? 😆

From a 2022 article:

Micron announced a 232-layer NAND chip earlier this year, with Chinese YTMC likely to follow suit later in 2022. That’s more than twice the capacity of the 96-layer NAND used by Sabrent in its Rocket Q SSD and should be enough for even 19.2TB M2 SSD. And controllers shouldn’t be an issue, given there’s technically no hard upper limit to storage capacity.Micron announced a 232-layer NAND chip earlier this year, with Chinese YTMC likely to follow suit later in 2022.

Rocket Q details confirmed by this 2020 Tom's Hardware review:

Rocket Q 8TB
Micron 96L QLC

I don't think there's any barrier to creating a single-sided 8 TB M.2 2280 drive using 200+ layer TLC NAND. It looks very cramped in the pic though.

No. Radioactive Black Aluminate replaces Starlight on The Seven in season 3 of The Boys
