Abstract: Solid state memory modules are disclosed having increased density for module size/footprint. Different embodiments also provide for improved interconnect arrangements between the memory modules and the corresponding field programmable gate array (FPGA), micro-processor (?P), or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). These interconnects provide for greater module interconnect flexibility, operating speed and operating efficiency. Some memory module embodiments according to the present invention comprises a plurality of solid state memory devices arranged on a first printed circuit board. A second printed circuit board is on and electrically connected to the first printed circuit board, with the second printed circuit board having a pin-out for direct coupling to a host device.
