A device employing a redundant array of solid state memory devices is presented, whereby RAID technology architecture is uniquely combined with solid state memory devices. The devices comprises a plurality of circuit boards assemblies mounted within a housing, preferably a housing which fits into a standard 51/4inch computer drive bay or a rack mount housing. The circuit board assemblies are electrically connected to solid state memory devices, for example, flash memory PCMCIA cards. A data path controller circuit provides the interface between a host system and the flash memory cards.
