1. A storage device, comprising:
a module substrate extending in one direction;
a non-volatile memory device mounted on the module substrate;
a controller mounted on the module substrate;
a first connector disposed at a first end of the module substrate and through which data stored in the non-volatile memory device is input/output; and
a power management integrated circuit configured to control supplying of power to the controller and the non-volatile memory device,
wherein the controller is configured such that in response to a first level signal received from the first connector, the controller connects the non-volatile memory device to the first connector, and then control, after connecting the non-volatile memory device to the first connector, the power management integrated circuit to cut off the supplying of the power to the controller, and
wherein a voltage level of the first level signal is a fixed voltage level.
