BiWin's CL 100 Mini is a particularly puny but potent SSD for portable gaming — tiny drive is only 15 x 17 mm in size, but up to 2TB in capacity

What happened

Storage expansion often comes by way of microSD cards, which can be added without opening the console, but can be slower than NVMe SSDs. Owning a PC gaming handheld is quite handy, but sometimes involves playing uncalled-for matches of Tetris with the internal storage, especially as games get larger.

BiWin's CL 100 Mini NVMe SSD tackles both those problems, arriving in a 15 x 17 mm form factor with custom casing. The diminutive unit was spotted earlier in the year, but hadn't been given a name or selling price until recently.

The unit is currently bespoke to BiWin's OneXPlayer consoles (OneXFly Apex/Air, OneXPlayer 3, X1 Air, X2 Mini, and Super V/X) as well as the GPD Win5. These systems have hardware slots specifically for this size drive that you could insert like an SD card.
