Any idea what this might be?

Does anyone know what chip this is, its purpose or possibly the manufacturer? It's on a 2015 MacBook Pro Samsung SSD.

Need donor ssd. Fixing these is quite hopeless

Yeah, definitely agree with you, I've never brought one back, but this one feels extremely close. It will actually work in a 2014 model (slightly slow), but not a 2015. And it's a 512GB so I have a decent amount of motivation. I was about to pull a chip off a donor but even dead SSD's are a little too valuable to destroy so I'm trying to find the actual chip.
