=== BIOS Chip ===
For a little while there was confusion how the BIOS was stored. Speculation about parts of the SSD could be used for the BIOS, integrated chipset BIOS, or a unknown IC-chip.
 
Turns out the BIOS chip was covered by a adhesive label and the part number is '''Winbond 25X40VSIG'''. It features a 8-pin 512K serial flash.
