1. An apparatus for writing data to and dispensing solid-state devices, comprising:
a first solid state storage device; a write port engageable to an interior of the first solid-state storage device to write the electronic data to the solid-state device; a transfer assembly for moving the solid-state storage device from engaging the write port to dispense the solid-state storage device a first mechanical check valve fixed with respect to a base of the apparatus; and a plurality of second and subsequent mechanical check valves coupled to the transfer assembly and not fixed with respect to the base, wherein the second and subsequent mechanical check valves assist in grasping the first solid state storage device, and wherein the first fixed mechanical check valve allows movement of the first solid state storage device in one direction while preventing movement in an opposite direction, thereby allowing the second and subsequent mechanical check valves to release the first solid state storage device to the retrieval bin as the transfer assembly moves back and forth.
