Abstract
A data preservation device includes a circuit board configured to be positioned within a memory module slot of a computing device and releasably engage a memory bus of the computing device. A non-volatile memory storage device is electrically coupled to the circuit board. A control circuit is electrically coupled to the circuit board and is configured to read a data portion from the computing device and write the data portion to the non-volatile memory storage device during the occurrence of a power failure event on the computing device. An independent power supply is configured to power the data preservation device during the power failure event.
