Why Your Mini PC’s NVMe Drive Isn’t as Fast as You Think

NVMe doesn’t always mean blazing fast speeds in mini PCs. Here’s the truth.

The PCIe lane problem

Why manufacturers cut corners

Fewer CPU lanes, thermal limits, and cost savings force mini PC makers to limit NVMe performance.

Don’t get tricked by specs

Always check PCIe version, lane count, and real-world reviews before buying.
