Abstract: A smart switch design in an external data storage or a flash memory reader/writer application that controls a power on/off to both a data storage device and an electronic bridge board inside a interface cable, the external data storage including: an enclosure for protecting interior elements; a switch with first and second ends, the first end connected to a wire of the electronic bridge board for receiving a power signal from a computer via an interface cable, the second end is connected to a power signal pin of the data storage device and an ASIC of the electronic bridge board; when the switch turns on (or the flash memory card insert into said slot) the data storage device (or the flash memory card) and the ASIC of the electronic bridge board gets the power signal from the computer and automatically issues the necessary handshake signals to the computer to establish the electrical communication to the data storage device (or the flash memory card).

Abstract: A console drive that enables different sizes of storage devices to be conveniently added or removed from a computer or equipment without disassembling and reassembling the computer or equipment, having a console bay that is secured to a drive bay of the computer or equipment on the side by screws; a console tray that slides in and out of the console bay; and a console enclosure that slides in and out of the console tray for containing the storage devices and providing connection of the electrical signals of the storage devices.

Abstract: A cartridge design allows any standard size IDE hard drive to be used like a removable media. The cartridge with the hard drive can then be connected to any computing devices via various interface ports such as USB, Firewire, PCMCIA, Parallel or any new IO ports. The cartridge consists of a disk connecting board, a cartridge housing and an eject mechanism to remove the hard drive from the cartridge.
