"Low tech capacitors" oh lord. When you have the space, electrolytic are *just fine*. Picture is too blurry for me to tell which caps those are, they might be low *quality*, but "low tech", no. Tantalum are a FAR higher cost. For M.2 clearly size is a huge issue so tantalum wins, for 2.5 in drives, well they are easily half empty space these days.

Well, a little drama will never heart :p But hand-soldering is kind of low-tec. A hand-made manufacturing processes are always victims for humans errors.
The picture was taking about 8 month ago and I remembered my thoughts about those solder joints, that they were rather badly performed. I remember I had second thoughts about installing the drives in my server for the same reason.
