Abstract
A serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) dual-in-line memory module (DIMM) includes a circuit board. A control chip and a number of storage chips are arranged on the circuit board. First and second extending boards extend from an end of the circuit board and are coplanar with the circuit board. A space is defined between the first and the second extending boards. A first edge connector is arranged on the first extending board and connected to the control chip. A second edge connector is arranged on bottom edges of the second extending board and the circuit board. A third edge connector is arranged on a top edge of the circuit board opposite to the bottom edge of the circuit board.
