| An electronic apparatus (so-called ‘Solid State Drive (SSD)’) with dimensions of approximately 100 × 70 × 7 mm, a 2,5 inch form factor and a storage capacity of 128 GB.It is a semiconductor based electronic storage device, built on solid state architecture, with flash memory to store non-volatile data and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM).It has a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface which permits integration in an automatic data-processing machine and is used as an internal data storage device.(see image)note | 84717098 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 5 (C) to Chapter 84 and by the wording of CN codes 8471, 847170 and 84717098.Its objective characteristics such as the SATA interface, size and form factor are characteristics of a device of a kind used principally in an automatic data-processing machine, it is directly connectable to the central processing unit, and it is able to accept or deliver data in a form which can be used by the system. Classification under heading 8523 as solid state non-volatile storage device is therefore excluded.Consequently, the device is to be classified under CN code 84717098 as other storage units for automatic data-processing machines. |
