A board has connectors for interfacing to external devices mounted at a rearward edge of the board, minimizing the need to make connections and route connecting cables in the space between the board and adjacent boards installed in a computer system. In one embodiment the board is a RAID controller board and comprises a first edge portion configured to mate with a housing of a computing device, a second edge portion adjacent to the first edge portion and having an edge connector to interface the board with a corresponding slot in a computing device, at least one connector mounted proximate to a third edge portion located opposite the first edge and adapted to provide a data transfer connection with at least one compatible storage device, and a control circuit connected to the edge connector and at least one connector on the board to control the operation of the storage device. |
