Also nice to see: 9 DRAM chips, so it's actually running ECC on the cache, not just the NAND (the product brief isn't really specific about that point.)
As I look harder at the photos, there seems to be more power circuitry than I would have expected, and most of it is on the opposite side of the drive from the power connector - I wonder if they're placed there so they get the coolest airflow through those small front vents, and whether that 71C temperature sensor might actually be on a VRM.
