Abstract
A solid state drive device includes a housing defining an interior space and first through fourth edges defining a perimeter thereof; and a package substrate module in the interior space. The package substrate module includes a package base substrate, a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted on the package base substrate, and an external connector corresponding to the third edge of the housing. The housing includes at least one groove adjacent to the first edge and a rail unit on each of the second and fourth edges.
Claims20
A solid state drive device comprising:
- a housing comprising an interior space and first, second, third, and fourth edges defining a perimeter thereof;
- and
- a package substrate module in the interior space, the package substrate module comprising a package base substrate, a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted on the package base substrate, and an external connector adjacent to the third edge of the housing opposite the first edge,
- wherein the housing comprises at least one groove adjacent to the first edge and a rail unit on each of the second and fourth edges.
A solid state drive device comprising:
- a housing comprising an interior space and first, second, third, and fourth edges defining a perimeter thereof, the housing comprising at least one groove on an exterior surface thereof adjacent to the first edge;
- a package substrate module in the interior space, the package substrate module comprising a package base substrate, a plurality of semiconductor chips on the package base substrate, and an external connector adjacent to the third edge of the housing opposite the first edge;
- and
- an insulating layer on a surface of the at least one groove of the housing,
- wherein the insulating layer comprises a material having lower heat conductivity than a material of the housing, and wherein a surface roughness of the insulating layer is greater than that of the housing.
A data storage system comprising:
- a rack comprising a plurality of sliding units extending in a first direction on opposing inner sidewalls and defining an inner accommodating space;
- a data management unit comprising a plurality of sockets thereon;
- and
- a plurality of solid state drive devices installed in the rack, the solid state drive devices respectively comprising:
- a housing comprising an interior space and first, second, third, and fourth edges defining a perimeter thereof;
- a plurality of semiconductor chips in the interior space and mounted on a package base substrate;
- and an external connector coupled with a respective socket of the plurality of sockets,
- wherein the housing comprises at least one groove adjacent to the first edge, a connector groove adjacent to the external connector on the third edge opposite the first edge, and a rail unit, which is configured to mate with a respective sliding unit of the plurality of sliding units, on each of the second edge and the fourth edge and extending in the first direction.
