Abstract: The present invention provides a tray-style flash memory drive that can be embedded in or externally connected to a computer system or a digital electronic product to enable the computer system or digital product to access various memory cards (flash memory cards). The flash memory drive includes a case, a base in the case, and a tray that can on the base. A circuit board is provided in the case, and the circuit board has a signal transmission unit and a plurality of contacts. A plurality of terminals is provided at the bottom of the tray. When the tray slides out of the base, and a memory card is placed in it, the terminals contact the I/O pins of the memory card. When the tray slides backward into the base, the terminals contact the contacts on the circuit board electrically. Thus, data stored in the memory card can be transmitted via the transmission unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tray-style flash memory drive that can be embedded in or externally connected to a computer system or a digital electronic product to enable the computer system or digital product to access various memory cards (flash memory cards), said flash memory drive comprises a case, a base in the case, and a tray that may slide or close on the base, wherein there is a circuit board in the case, and the circuit board has a signal transmission unit and a plurality of contacts. There is a plurality of lugs on the bottom of the tray. When the tray slides and opens, and a memory card is placed in it, the lugs will contact the I/O pins of the memory card on their top surfaces. When the tray slides backward and closes, the lugs will contact the contacts on the circuit board on their bottom surfaces electrically. Thus data stored in the memory card can be input and output via the transmission unit through the I/O pins of the memory card, the lugs on the tray, and the contacts.
