Solid-state drives have moved passed mechanical drives in regards to speed and performance. The reason being SSD's don't contend with moving parts in comparison to the spinning hard drives which use a rotating disk to retrieve and store data.

Mini PC cases, well, the technical term is mATX, which in my opinion, isn't the most appealing chassis in regards to design and spacial accommodation.

The probably the most popular listening device on the planet is the Apple AirPod. I mean, they are everywhere.
