Just an Ordinary PCB?
You might think so until you look closely. Next to the LED on the bottom right you might notice a familiar connection. It’s a mini USB port directly integrated into the printed circuit board(PCB). It’s a design architecture we are seeing with portable external drives on a regular basis. If you purchased a mini external drive recently you probably have this design. This represents the shift in standard storage drive connectors (IDE/SATA etc) to support the various places you find this hardware these days. Good evidence of how widespread external hard drives and devices with USB support are.
