The actual paper has much more information than the fluffy article that is linked here.

From the paper: "The drives in our study are custom designed high performance solid state drives, which are based on commodity flash chips, but use a custom PCIe interface, firmware and driver."

These aren't drives that you can just go out and buy, so brands and model numbers would be meaningless to anyone outside of Google.
