The Verge reports that a Chinese company called Biwin has developed the "Mini SSD," a 15 by 17 mm-thick card that supports read speeds of up to 3,700MB per second due to a two-lane PCI Express 4.0 interface.
So this is basically a smaller NVMe SSD?
- MBCook 1y agoYes. A very very small one.
- PaulKeeble 1y agoAnd presumably a mechanical interface designed to be external to a device to allow plugging them in and out.
- unwind 1y agoThat size obviously doesn't parse, so it's hard to tell. It's how thick, again? I guess they just mean "15x17x1 mm" but somehow edited the 1 out and ... I don't know.
- throwawayben 1y ago"if you multiply by 1 it's always the same so that's pointless - I should remove that"
