COMPUTEX is the place where PC component brands like ASUS, MSI, Kingston, and the like show off their latest and greatest. It’s also the place where you can learn about other manufacturers who do great stuff without the usual fanfare. I met company reps from Biwin, a Shenzhen-based memory and SSD manufacturer quietly building a reputation for quality.

Founded in Shenzhen, China, Biwin has over a decade of experience crafting memory and storage solutions for both consumer and enterprise markets. The company has long served as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for industry giants like Lenovo and Acer, producing reliable SSDs and RAM modules that power devices worldwide. Their experience building products for their partners has helped the brand to hone its production process enough that they felt ready to enter the consumer market, which they did last year with their Black Opal series of SSDs and memory modules.

The SSD market is an incredibly competitive and cutthroat place where brands have to balance speed, performance, and reliability with price. While not the cheapest SSD brand in the market, Biwin’s products, which have become premium alternatives to more expensive options, have garnered a quiet following, with performance and durability that’s just a step below industry leader Samsung. Biwin’s focus on quality control, advanced manufacturing processes, and innovative design ensures their SSDs and RAM modules deliver consistent performance for demanding applications, from gaming to professional workloads.

I was introduced to their Black Opal X570 PRO SSD at COMPUTEX, built on the cutting-edge PCIe Gen5 standard. These drives boast staggering read/write speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s and 13,000 MB/s, respectively, placing them among the fastest SSDs on the market. These figures align closely with claims from top competitors, setting high expectations for real-world performance. Independent testing will be crucial to verify whether the X570 PRO lives up to its promise, but early impressions suggest Biwin is poised to make a significant impact in the high-performance storage segment. The Black Opal X570 PRO is designed for enthusiasts and professionals who demand lightning-fast data transfer rates for tasks like 8K video editing, large-scale data processing, and next-generation gaming.

And if you were wondering, Biwin already has a presence in the Philippine market, and we’re excited to actually test the brand’s flagship SSD to see if it really lives up to the hype.
