[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 928207, member: 85385"] There are a couple of ways: Generally the manufacturer would have a whitepaper or two which details the controller. Otherwise, in the case of recent Gigabyte motherboards, they actually give a vendor ID for each SSD in the BIOS itself, which can then be searched. For your Zotac, however, a quick Google search tells me it is based on a Phison controller and Toshiba memory. Zotac, being a Hong Kong-based company with advanced design and fabrication facilities, may actually be buying the parts (controller + memory) from the open market and putting them on a PCB (they sell a ton of graphics cards, they know circuit board design).
