A Closer Look

In Figure 8, you can see the SATA connectors and the 40-mm fan. If you pay close attention you can see a thermal sensor on the printed circuit board (the small green component). The choice of a 40-mm fan was a dubious one as the smaller the fan the higher noise level it generates.

In Figure 9, you can see the components from Vi-On printed circuit board. The main controller is a JMicron JM20316.
