Biwin has announced a teeny-tiny new type of SSD with shock and water resistance built-in, but it might be a while before you see one in your next mobile device

MicroSD cards feel a bit behind the times, don't they? While I'll always be impressed by just how much storage can be squeezed into such a tiny footprint, they're rather slow, ponderous affairs to use in practice, particularly in regards to gaming devices. Enter Biwin, a giant in the space of memory and storage that has just announced a new type of teeny-tiny SSD that looks like it might show some promise.

Biwin refers to its new creation as a "Mini SSD", which seems appropriate, as it's significantly smaller than a good ol' British pound coin (via The Verge). At just 15 x 17 x 1.4 mm, it's the sort of thing you might accidentally inhale, which is remarkable given the storage and speed potential inside.
