Abstract
A carrier board for use with a host computing system includes bus connectors for one or more removable memory modules. The carrier board includes energy storage components and control circuitry to charge the energy storage components using a voltage source provided by the host computing system. If the host computing system experiences a power failure, the control circuitry initiates discharge the energy storage components to power the carrier board. As such, the memory controller on the carrier board may initiate steps to secure any data that would have been lost due to the power failure, such as data that is part of write operations in progress at the time of the power failure or data to be migrated as part of garbage collection operations.
