Abstract
A hot-swappable DRAM cartridge implemented in a standards-compliant SSD form-factor has an access panel that opens to enable removal and insertion of socketed DRAM memory modules. In at least some implementations, the DRAM cartridge complies with form-factor, protocol, connector, and pin-out/signal specifications set forth in one or more Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) specifications promulgated by Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) including, for example and without limitation, form-factor specifications set forth in EDSFF standards E3.S, E3.S 2T, E3.L and E3.L 2T.
