Mini Computers With SSD Storage
A mini computer with SSD storage is a small desktop PC that stores its operating system and files on a solid-state drive. SSDs have no moving parts, so they start quickly, read and write data faster than hard disk drives, and tolerate vibration well. The Thinvent range includes mini PCs with SSD storage and with eMMC storage. Thinvent does not list a mini PC with a removable 2.5-inch SATA SSD in this range.
Key Specifications
The Thinvent mini PCs in this range use two processor families:
-
ARM Cortex-A55 (Micro 6 Pro): 4 cores, up to 1.9 GHz, 1 MB cache, 4 GB onboard RAM, 32 GB eMMC storage, one HDMI output, dual antenna WiFi, and Thinux embedded Linux.
-
Intel Celeron N5095A (Treo): 4 cores, up to 2.9 GHz, 4 MB cache, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 1 TB SSD, one HDMI output, a 12V 5A adapter, and no WiFi. Operating system options are Windows 11 IoT, Windows 11 Professional, and Windows 11 Pro.
Comparison
| Feature | Micro 6 Pro | Treo |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | ARM Cortex-A55 | Intel Celeron N5095A |
| Cores | 4 | 4 |
| Max frequency | 1.9 GHz | 2.9 GHz |

Use Cases
The Micro 6 Pro suits embedded Linux projects, digital signage, kiosks, and light edge tasks that need low power and a small footprint. The Treo suits Windows-based applications, point-of-sale systems, machine control, and office work that needs more storage and memory. Both models have one HDMI output and fit in space-limited installations.
Thinvent Mini PCs With SSD Storage
Thinvent has the Treo with 1 TB SSD storage in several operating system and accessory configurations. The Micro 6 Pro has 32 GB eMMC storage, with optional accessories including an HDMI to VGA cable, a keyboard and mouse set, and a VESA mount.
