1. A data storage chassis comprising:
a plurality of data storage cartridges;
a plurality of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) that are detachably connectable to different subsets of the plurality of data storage cartridges by operation of a motor; and
a wireless interface controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of PCBAs, and communicatively coupled to a motor controller that is configured to activate the motor, the wireless interface controller configured to provide the motor controller with movement control commands that cause the motor controller to responsively activate the motor to move the plurality of PCBAs in one or more directions dictated by the movement control commands, the wireless interface controller facilitating wireless communication of data between the data storage chassis and a host using at least one frequency in a range of frequencies including fifth-generation (5G), millimeter, and sub-millimeter frequency ranges.
