Small form factor (SFF) refers to the design approach focused on minimizing the size and footprint of computers and electronic devices.
This approach allows for the reduction of traditional size and weight constraints, facilitating the creation of more portable and space-efficient products. SFF technology has significantly impacted mobile devices, such as laptops and tablets, making them lighter and more compact. Additionally, it has been instrumental in enhancing the design of industrial machinery, medical equipment, and household appliances, where space efficiency and ease of transport are critical.
Key advantages of SFF include miniaturization, weight reduction, and improved installation and transportation convenience, often leading to cost savings. However, it's important to be aware of certain trade-offs, such as limitations in integrated functions and performance capabilities, as well as potential challenges in heat dissipation.
