New Mini SSD Drives Announced: Compact Storage Solutions with High Speeds
In an exciting development for the tech world, Chinese storage manufacturer Biwin has announced the upcoming release of their new Mini SSD drives. These compact storage solutions offer portability similar to MicroSD cards but with speeds closer to M.2 storage.
The Mini SSD drives, measuring approximately 15mm x 17mm x 1.4mm, use a SIM card-style tray and are small enough to fit in phones and smartphones. They boast a read speed of up to 3,700 MB/s, making them faster than MicroSD cards but still slower than M.2 storage, which can hit a read speed of up to 14,000 MB/s.
The Mini SSD drives have been designed to be used with an adapter that lets them slip into a USB port like any flash drive. This versatility makes them compatible with a variety of devices, including the Strix Halo and GPD Win 5 gaming portables, which have announced their support for the new Mini SSDs.
The Mini SSD drives are IP68 water and dust resistant and can withstand a drop from as high as three meters. They will come in capacities of up to 2TB, making them ideal for storing large amounts of data.
A video teaser of the Mini SSD drives has been released online, generating a buzz in the tech community. However, no specific pricing or release date for the Mini SSD drives has been announced yet. It is expected that the details will be revealed in the near future when the drives are launched, likely alongside devices that will support them.
The Mini SSD drives are set to offer a convenient solution for those seeking fast and portable storage. Stay tuned for more updates as we await the official release of these innovative new storage solutions.
