Description

  The present invention relates to a kind of data storage device of an electronic device, and more particularly to a kind of memory device that expands the storage capacity of the electronic device and improves efficiency and safety.

  In the current electronic device 100, a hard disk is mainly used as a storage device built in a personal computer (PC), an industrial computer (IPC), or the like. FIG. 1 illustrates the configuration of a personal computer (PC). According to a known technique, a microprocessor 91 and a storage device control interface 92 are provided on a substrate 90, and the storage device control interface 92 is connected to one or a plurality of hard disks 94 by an electric circuit 93. The storage device control interface 92 supports bus standards such as IDE (Integrated Device Electronic), PCI (Peripheral Component Interface), and SATA (Serial ATA).

  Since the storage capacity of the hard disk 94 is limited, the user replaces the hard disk 94 with a large storage capacity as one method for expanding the storage capacity. What is unfortunate is that this type of exchange-based expansion requires reintroduction of computer system software and data, resulting in cost and time loss and is not economical. Another method is to add a new hard disk 95. However, this type of additional expansion method requires a certain amount of space and configuration in the computer body, and is not convenient to operate.

For this reason, there is a risk of damage if it is impacted or moved while the hard disk is in operation. In addition, due to advances in science, hard disks have come to be used in electronic devices for transportation equipment such as vehicles and ships. Therefore, in order to improve the drawbacks that are vulnerable to the impact of the hard disk, an SD card (Secure Digital) (registered trademark), a CF card (Compact Flash) (registered trademark), an MS card (Memory Stick), an MMC card (Multi Media Card), For SM cards (Smart Cards) and USB storage devices, it is today's auxiliary storage practice to apply flash memory to various storage devices. Furthermore, this type of memory device is a commonly used auxiliary storage device because it is easy to install and expand, can be thermally inserted and removed, has high safety, low heat generation, and has better efficiency and vibration prevention function. However, since the capacity of this type of memory device is limited, it cannot become a mainstream storage device. Current electronic devices (such as personal computers) only have a card reader that conforms to each standard attached to the panel of the main body. Very fortunately, this type of flash memory device currently only uses portable storage media. Therefore, in addition to a method for a data storage device that is better for electronic devices, developing an application field of a memory storage device is an important direction for improving and breaking through the industry.
