Abstract:
1. A data storage device comprising: storage circuitry configured to store data; a substantially planar card comprising a first portion, an additional portion, a guide marking a boundary between the first portion and the additional portion, and the storage circuitry; an electrical interface electrically connected to the storage circuitry and located on a first face of the first portion of the card; and wherein the card is configured so that if the first portion is folded along the guide with respect to the additional portion so that the portions are directly below the electrical interface, and the first portion and the additional portion are parallel to each other, the combined thickness of the first portion and the additional portion is sufficient to make contact with both an electrical interface of a communications receptacle and a shell portion of the communications receptacle when the folded card is inserted into the communications receptacle, wherein the combined thickness is: where: CT=the combined thickness, N=the number of folds, and MT=the material thickness of each portion.
