Abstract

Abstract A storage memory device includes a primary body comprised of a first memory card at one side and a connection portion at the other side. Contacts are provided in the connection portion and in electrical connection with the first memory card to serve as a data transmission interface for the first memory card. The storage memory device further includes a secondary body forming a first slot for receiving the connection portion therein. The secondary body may include a second memory card electrically connectable to the first memory card via the contacts of the connection portion. Alternatively, the second memory card of the secondary body is omitted and replaced by a second slot into which another primary body comprised of a connection portion having contacts and a memory card is received. Thus, electrical connection and data exchange between the two memory cards, either between the first and second memory cards or between the two first memory cards, can be done easily with the contacts of the connection portions.
