Fast, removable storage could be one way to address soaring game install sizes.

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. The Verge reports that a pair of Chinese-made AMD-based gaming portables—the GPD Win 5 and the OneXPlayer Super X—are advertising support for the cards, which Biwin says will come in capacities between 500GB and 2TB.
