Device including circuit board with different form factor terminal sets and assemblies including the same

A solid state device comprising:

• a circuit board comprising:
• a board common to at least a first form factor and a second form factor;
• first circuit board connection terminals of the first form factor;
• and
• second circuit board connection terminals of the second form factor,
• a connector including connector connection terminals, where only one of the first circuit board connection terminals and the second circuit board connection terminals are connected to the connector connection terminals and the connector is common to the first form factor and the second form factor;
• and
• a case of the first form factor;
• wherein the first circuit board connection terminals and the second circuit board connection terminals are configured such that when the first form factor operates only the first circuit board terminals electrically contact an external device and when the second form factor operates only the second circuit board terminals electrically contact the external device,
• the case and the connector are configured to form a part of a portable plug-in memory device with only the one of the first and second circuit board connection terminals being used while the other of the first and second circuit board connection terminals is to remain inactive, and
• the circuit board may be used for different memory devices and joined to the connector to form the solid-state device wherein only the one of the first and second circuit board connection terminals are to be electrically used in the solid state device.
