You could just extend the c partition onto the second disk. I think windows supports that itself / no extra software. It's not just the ssd (even a good one will be slow... Abet faster than yours). Its the chipset of the motherboard. The usb ports are the fastest thing on that system.
The fast portion of the eMMC transfer is due to a buffer, It doesn't start out writing to the disk. When the buffer is full it will then direct write, that's why the speed drops off part way through. The system might not assign any RAM to the SSD bus combined with the cheap SSD not having any onboard buffer either, so it isn't the drive that is slower, but rather that it isn't using any buffer.
I recommend if cloning, find any free linux distro that boots from a USB, and use the DD command to easily clone. Easier to do than any cloning software. (just be careful not to type the disks in the wrong order and copy the blank to the original.. )
Which app? I installed an app to clone the eMMC's contents to the new SSD. You don't necessarily have to do that though, you could install a fresh copy of Windows.
I think a dell optiplex micro or one of its competitors from lenovo and hp is better than this and is more reliable. I got a brand new optiplex 7050 i7 for $250 brand new.

Thanks I’ll give that a try once it arrives

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation!
These micro PC's have a reputation for having every slow SSD controllers. You'll probably find an external drive hanging off a USB3 port to be faster.

Definitely going to try that next time.
Last time I cloned I used Disk Genius
Can you tell which typical is the ssd?
Is there a size limit to how large the m.2 add-on drive can be?
which brand is the SSD? I have seen many messages about incompatible SSDs
So you run a benchmark program on the same computer to messier the benchmark of that computer ???
I would disable the C drive and install Linux on the SSD then you can have both.
Too true my friend, F*cking never use Microsoft.
What kind M.2 SSD does it use SATA or NVME?
if you watch the video it looks it has 2 slots M.2 SATA SSDs have two U-shaped cut outs
Can we open this shit from the back to see it inside?
have you tried tiny10 or tiny11 fresh install? (non OEM) if not you should...then mabey show us :D
I haven't - is that a slimmed down version of Windows?
@@scecko Oh yeah, i have a netbook i put tiny11 on, its usable more so then win7. and on this system i bet would fly with it. hint: no sysreq version
It's strange. It says a type 2280 SSD and yet the slot is a NVME SSD. It don't make any sense.
This mini pc run 2280 m.2 SATA not m.2 NVME
@@abdabd-fq1vq Doesn't 2280 M.2 have two notches? Bmax SSD slot only has one!
Why do you need to install an app? Once you out in the ssd card do you have to install the app

Windows refuses to believe I have a memory stick in mine. Did you go into BIOS and have to change anything?
Nope - my unit recognized it without having to change anything. The only thing I did was change the boot order.
check whether it is a SATA stick. The BMAX doesn't recognize MVNE sticks
Microsoft has spyware in it.
Does it have dual channel ram
Nope!
First mistake is never run windows on any PC.
any hacks tweaks this pc is at 100 % CPU
Nah - it's just slow as crap. Sorry!
the bottleneck is the crappy cpu, this pc is garbage

Yeah I think you’re probably right, you can get some pretty sweet deals especially with refurbished units.
bad video Sir, keep it simple.
Thanks bro
Clonezilla is pretty Great
The device hard drive controller is your limiting factor
Yep it does seem to be the case, that's unfortunate. Wish I had known about Clonezilla before making this video!
Stop running the fancy skins and never use Microsoft
Never give any Info to Microsoft.
