The Smallest SSD Ever Could Replace Universal microSD Memory Cards Permanently If Its Inventor Does One Thing
Chinese storage maker Biwin may have just shaken up the portable storage world. The smallest SSD ever could replace universal microSD memory cards permanently if its inventor does one thing—submit it for global standard approval. Without that, even this groundbreaking invention risks fading into obscurity.
Why This Mini SSD Matters
The Biwin Mini SSD is tiny—just 15mm x 17mm and 1.4mm thick. That’s smaller than a U.S. penny but powerful enough to hold up to 2TB of storage.
With sequential read speeds of 3,700MB/s and write speeds of 3,400MB/s, it crushes microSD Express’s 985MB/s ceiling. This puts it closer to full-size SD Express cards, making it a game-changer for laptops, tablets, smartphones, and even high-end cameras.
The One Thing Standing in Its Way
Despite its impressive specs, the Mini SSD faces one huge obstacle: industry approval. History shows that SanDisk’s early SDA submission made microSD a universal success. If Biwin doesn’t follow the same path with the SDA or PCI-SIG, its invention could remain niche.
Universal adoption depends on this crucial step. Without standards, manufacturers may hesitate to integrate the Mini SSD into their devices—no matter how fast or compact it is.
Potential to Redefine Portable Storage
Think about the possibilities:
-
Faster transfer speeds for creators on the go
-
Smaller, sleeker device designs with massive storage
-
A future where microSD cards feel outdated
If Biwin secures approval, the smallest SSD ever could replace universal microSD memory cards permanently—and we may be witnessing the next era of portable storage.
The Biwin Mini SSD proves innovation in storage isn’t slowing down. But speed and size alone won’t guarantee success. Industry approval is the one step standing between this tiny powerhouse and global adoption.
If Biwin takes that leap, microSD may finally meet its replacement.
