Abstract: A storage device has a memory module enclosed within a housing and a removable cover. In a first configuration of the storage device, while leaving a portion of the housing exposed, the cover encloses at least a connector that extends from the housing and that is electrically coupled to the memory module. In a second configuration of the storage device, while leaving at least the connector exposed, the cover encloses at least the portion of the housing that was exposed in the first configuration.

Abstract: A storage device has a memory module, a cover, and light-transmission elements. In one such storage device, a cover has light-transmission elements extending from opposing exterior surfaces of the cover. In a configuration of the memory module and the cover, the light-transmission elements are optically coupled to the light source.

Abstract: A storage device has a memory module and a cover pivotally coupled to a housing of the memory module. In one such storage device, the memory module and cover can pivot with respect to each other to configure the storage device in a first configuration or in each of one or more second configurations. In the first configuration, the cover substantially encloses a connector of the memory module that extends from the housing. In one or more second configurations, the connector is entirely exposed. For one embodiment, opposing light-transmission elements may pass through the cover and extend into an interior of the housing.
