Abstract: A solid-state memory device includes a housing having an open end, a printed circuit board within the housing, a first connector carried by the printed circuit board, and a removable solid-state drive having a second connector. In addition, the device includes an end cap having a platform that projects outwards therefrom, and with the solid-state drive being secured to the platform. The end cap is removably inserted into the open end in the housing until the second connector on the solid-state drive mates with the first connector within the housing. The end cap includes a quick release retaining fastener for securing the end cap to the housing. The retaining fastener allows the solid-state drive to be quickly removed from the housing as to be inserted into a corresponding different housing.
