A modular memory device includes a support element, a memory unit comprising a three-dimensional memory array carried by the support element, a device interface unit carried by the support element and coupled with the memory unit, and an electrical connector carried by the support element and coupled with the device interface unit. The memory array is well suited for use as a digital medium storage device for digital media such as digital text, digital music, digital image or images, and digital video. The device interface unit is not required in all cases.
