Abstract:
The invention is directed to a data storage device that includes a host connector to facilitate attachment to a host computer so that the host computer can access one or more storage elements within the device. The data storage device includes a flexible member to mechanically and electrically couple the host connector of the device to a housing that holds the storage elements. The housing may comprise a receptacle for insertion of the host connector when the device is not coupled to a host computer. The flexible member may define a length and a flexibility sufficient to allow the host connector to be inserted into the receptacle in the housing. When the host connector is inserted into the receptacle in the housing, the data storage device forms a loop, allowing the device to be attached to items or objects or possibly worn as jewelry.
