Abstract

A data storage cartridge (12) comprising a hard drive and a cartridge housing. The hard drive includes a non-tape storage medium and an electronic data connector including a plurality of connection pads (116) for accessing the non-tape storage medium. The cartridge housing substantially encloses the hard drive. The plurality of connection pads (116) are transversely accessible by a cartridge drive, with plunger like pins (126) to transversely contact the connection pads (116). Thus a non-sliding connection to prevent scraping is achieved. After an approach of the cartridge towards the pins (126) a motor may apply an additional load to achieve a proper contact.
