Patent ID: 7546634

Claim:
An encryption removable storage system that enables different types of storage devices to be conveniently added or removed from a cradle of a computer or equipment and with data encryption/decryption ability, which comprising: an enclosure portion being sided in and out of said cradle portion, having a hollow space for containing said storage devices and providing a connection of electrical signals of said storage devices; the enclosure portion comprises an opening disposed at front side of the enclosure portion; a bridge portion being positioned inside said enclosure portion and translating a first interface into a second interface and executing data encryption/decryption function, wherein, said first interface is different from said second interface either in signal types or physical connecting types; said bridge portion further comprises: a printed circuit board (PCB) being disposed inside said enclosure portion; an ASIC board being removably mounted on said PCB for translating said first interface of said storage device and said second interface therebetween; a controller, being disposed on said PCB and coupled to said ASIC board, receiving data from said ASIC board, executing encryption or decryption operations, and generating output; a connector, being mounted on said PCB and coupled to said ASIC board, coupling said storage device to said ASIC board; and a male gold finger being formed on top and bottom surfaces of said PCB and coupled to said controller for coupling to said cradle portion; and a lock seat being protruded from said opening and coupled to said controller through wires, whereby a key is inserted into said lock seat for controlling said controller to execute encryption /decryption data functions.
