The event began with hands-on demonstrations of BIWIN’s core product portfolio and the highlight of the showcase was BIWIN’s Mini SSD, featuring an industry-first standardized plug-and-play slot design. Measuring just 15.00 mm × 17.00 mm × 1.40 mm, approximately half the size of a coin, the Mini SSD delivers PCIe Gen 4 x2 performance, capacities of up to 2 TB, and sequential read/write speeds of up to 3,700 MB/s and 3,400 MB/s, respectively.

By combining high performance, compact form factor, and upgradeability in an ultra-small footprint, the Mini SSD addresses longstanding trade-offs between performance, size, and upgradeability in storage design.

The Mini SSD continues to earn broad industry recognition, receiving multiple international awards for its innovative design and practical value, including TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025, the 2026 Edison Bronze Award, the CES 2026 TWICE Picks Award, MWC 2026 Best in Show, Embedded World Best in Show, and the Arab Overclockers Best Product Award.

In the hands-on demo area, guests experienced gaming handhelds and AI PCs from OneXPlayer, GPD, and other manufacturers powered by the Mini SSD. The demonstrations highlighted the product’s unique combination of a compact form factor, high performance, and expandability for edge AI and gaming applications.

The showcase also featured BIWIN’s three consumer storage product lines, which include SSDs, DRAM, portable SSDs, and memory cards.

Designed for gaming enthusiasts, the Black Opal series delivers high-performance storage with the reliability required for demanding gaming workloads. The Amber series combines strong performance with a lightweight design, providing content creators with efficient and dependable portable storage solutions. Meanwhile, the Biwin-branded products strike an optimal balance between performance and value, offering reliable, cost-effective storage solutions for PC users and content creators.

Together, these three product ranges cover a diversity of storage use cases, spanning gaming, content creation, and everyday computing applications.
