Well, in the service of truth, we’ll now open the case and take a look at the rather short and single-sided PCB. And for once, I’ll start at the back, that is, on the reverse side. And that is already the first bull’s eye! This is because it is the first revision of a reference board for the RM1135 SSD controller from Realtek (“RM1135_DEMO”). It is important to know that these are ancient controllers, with the RM1135, the CS1802A and the MAS1102B pin-compatible doing the same thing. By the way, RayMX also clones the RM1135, which was able to handle up to 4 chips, but was rarely used on boards over 512 GB for good reasons.
The rest of the imprint on this 4-layer board is self-explanatory anyway. Of course, we don’t find a UL number here, and there are no other codes visible on the front or back that would indicate the manufacturer or source. Nothing. Let’s take a look at the front…
