1. A system, comprising:
- a flash module, comprising;
a top cover and a bottom cover;
a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising memory, solid state storage, a storage controller configured to manage the memory and the solid state storage, and at least one integrated connector;
a capacitor, wherein the capacitor is configured to power at least the storage controller when the flash module is disconnected from an external power source; and
a latch assembly, comprising;
a housing having an opening and an inner cavity formed therein;
a pull member having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end of the pull member is disposed within the housing;
a reversing link having a first end and a second end disposed within the housing, wherein the first end of the reversing link is pivotally coupled to the second end of the pull member and a portion of the reversing link is pivotally coupled to the housing; and
a latch member movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, the latch member having a first end and a second end disposed within the housing, wherein the latch member is pivotally coupled to the housing and the second end of the reversing link is configured to engage the first end of the latch member; and
a chassis having an opening formed therein, the opening configured to receive the flash module, the chassis comprising;
a retaining pin coupled to the housing, wherein the retaining pin protrudes into the inner cavity of the housing and the second end of the latch member is configured to engage the retaining pin.
