Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a compact storage device, such as a flash memory device. The connector of the memory device contains the controller that controls data transfer and storage within a flash memory module (FMM) of the memory device. Preferably, the controller resides completely within the connector to enable the smallest form factor of the flash memory device and the most space for one or more flash memory modules. In this manner, the memory device may store a large quantity of data while being of a small size. Additionally, the connector may also be used with other data transfer or storage devices while the FMM may separately store data within other storage or computing devices.
