A memory device is described that is capable of expanding an amount of
storage capacity available to a host computer without requiring a user to
purchase a new, higher capacity memory device that may be bulky and
expensive. The memory device includes a host connector that allows a host
computer access to a memory within the memory device. The memory device
also includes a first set of electrical contacts accessible through a top
major surface of a memory device housing and a second set of electrical
contacts accessible through a bottom major surface of the memory device
housing. The first and second sets of electrical contacts allow a device,
such as another memory device, to couple to the host computer through the
memory device. In this way, the amount of memory available to the host
computer can be increased while maintaining a small form factor for each
of the devices.
