A method and apparatus for mechanically mounting and electrically connecting a plurality of small form factor (SFF) storage devices such as 2.5&#x2033; hard disk drives in place of a larger SFF hard disk drive such as a single SFF 3.5&#x2033; hard disk drive. This provides increased disk drive capacity and/or higher performance. The storage devices may be connected in a redundant array of independent disk (RAID) architecture for implementation as a RAID stripe, mirror, or other RAID configuration.

External backup storage

One button external backup storage

An electrical connector semiconductor package with electrically conductive 'fly-over' paths wherein semiconductor package hermetically seals one or more substrate comprising one or more semiconductor devices, such as active or passive ICs, and other semiconductor components. Semiconductor package with 'fly-over' paths comprises a first package face comprising a first set of connector terminations, such as a set of connector pins that receive a set of incoming external signal. Semiconductor package with &#x201c;fly-over&#x201d; paths also comprises a second package face comprising a second set of connector termination, wherein the second set of connector terminations might comprise a set of connector pin cusps to couple to an external board or another connector. One or more of the first set of connector terminations are provided to couple a set of incoming external signals to the one or more semiconductor devices on a substrate via a set of signal pins.
