A flash memory module (100) includes an integral indicator light(110). The module alternatively includes a plurality electrical contacts which electrically interface to a host digital device. The module (100) includes a plurality of flash memory cells (102). The cells are controlled by an integral controller (108). The indicator light (110) is controlled by the controller (108). The indicator light (110) indicates whether the flash memory module (100) is being accessed. Alternatively, the indicator light (110) indicates that the flash memory module (100) should be replaced. A housing for the module is preferably light transmissive material, and preferably a transparent plastic. A proximal end of the module includes the electrical contacts and is inserted into the host. The indicator light (110) is preferably a surface mount LED and is positioned adjacent the distal end of the flash memory module (100) to be seen through the transparent plastic. Alternatively, the controller (108) generates an electronic signal which is coupled to the host. |
