Data storage cartridge with non-tape storage medium and electrical targets

A data storage system comprising:

• a data storage cartridge including:
• a housing enclosing a non-tape storage medium and a data connector configured to provide electrical access to the non-tape storage medium, wherein the data connector includes a first number of connection terminals, and
• a connection assembly positioned within the housing, coupled with the electrical data connector, and including a second number of flat electrical targets spaced from and in electrical communication with the electrical data connector, each flat electrical target comprising a metallized pad disposed on a film;
• and
• a cartridge dock including:
• a socket configured to at least partially receive the data storage cartridge,
• a dock connector positioned within the socket and including a third number of conductive and compliant pins each configured to contact a corresponding one of the flat electrical targets at a location within an area of the metallized pad to externally access the storage medium via the connection assembly and the data connector;
• wherein the third number is equal to the second number and is less than the first number.
