Claim:
A data storage device comprising: storage circuitry configured to store data; a substantially planar card comprising a first portion, one or more additional portions, a guide marking a boundary between the first portion and at least one of the one or more additional portions, 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 at least one of the one or more additional portions so that the one or more portions are directly below the electrical interface, and the first portion and the one or more additional portions are parallel to each other, the combined thickness of the first portion and the one or more additional portions is sufficient to make contact with both an electrical interface of a standard communications receptacle and a shell portion of the receptacle when the folded card is inserted into the standard electrical communications receptacle.
