[Shenzhen, China] — October 10, 2025 — Biwin, a global leader in memory and storage solutions, is proud to announce that its revolutionary Mini SSD has been named to TIME’s prestigious list of the Best Inventions of 2025, a recognition that celebrates innovations changing the way we live, work, and play.
Selected from hundreds of global entries, the Biwin Mini SSD stood out for its unprecedented combination of ultra-compact design, high-speed performance, and rugged durability, redefining what’s possible in portable storage.
“We brought “SSD speed and performance down to the size of a coin,” says Will Lin, Director of Biwin Storage Technology USA. “It’s not just small—it’s powerful, fast, and ready for the future of mobile and embedded computing.” [time.com]
TIME’s annual Best Inventions list highlights products that solve pressing problems in creative ways. The Biwin Mini SSD was selected for its ability to deliver desktop-level performance in a form factor smaller than a microSD card, making it ideal for next-generation devices like handheld gaming consoles, ultrabooks, tablets, and smart cameras.
Measuring just 15mm × 17mm × 1.4mm, the Mini SSD is half the size of a Euro coin, yet it packs up to 2TB of storage and delivers read speeds of up to 3,700 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s using PCIe Gen4x2 and NVMe 1.4 protocols.
This innovation addresses a growing challenge in consumer electronics: especially in the AI era, how to provide high-speed, high-capacity storage in devices that are getting smaller and more mobile. TIME recognized Biwin’s Mini SSD as a transformative solution that bridges the gap between performance and portability.
The Biwin Mini SSD is built using advanced Land Grid Array (LGA) packaging technology which integrates the controller and flash memory into a single plane. This design not only reduces size but also improves thermal efficiency and mechanical stability.
Key features include:
These features make the Mini SSD ideal for edge computing, AI-enabled devices, mobile workstations, and gaming handhelds. In fact, leading gaming device manufacturers like GPD have already adopted the Mini SSD in their latest products.
The Mini SSD’s modular slot design ensures broad compatibility across a wide range of devices, including:
Its hot-swappable nature and plug-and-play functionality make it especially attractive for users who need flexible, high-speed storage on the go. Whether you’re editing 4K video, training AI models, or transferring large files between devices, the Mini SSD delivers a seamless experience.
Biwin anticipates that the Mini SSD will see growing adoption across consumer electronics, industrial applications, medical, and IoT devices.
Being named to TIME’s Best Inventions list is a significant milestone for Biwin, affirming its commitment to innovation, quality, and user-centric design.
TIME’s editors and correspondents evaluated hundreds of inventions based on originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact. The Mini SSD was recognized not only for its technical excellence but also for its potential to bolster the future of mobile computing.
“We’re honored to be included in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025,” said Lin. “This recognition validates our vision of pushing boundaries in storage technology and delivering solutions that empower users everywhere.”
The Biwin Mini SSD is available in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities.
