Package Content & Design
MINIX 240GB M.2 SSD comes in simple blue packaging. Well-protected too. Besides the SSD, there is user manual to guide you to install the SSD. In short, just plug in the SSD into MINIX mini PC. And disable internal eMMC. Then select SSD as the first boot will do.
Here is the hardware outlook. Both of them are basically the same by the way. Just the contents inside (Windows 10 Pro OS with proper system drivers) are different.
As I mentioned, just install SSD into the M.2 slot will do. As simple as ABC.
Performance Result
Yeah!!! SSD performance is way better than specifications with 415 MB/s for reading and 400 MB/s for writing. Below are the results by using NEO G41V-4. Almost double performance increased when compared with built-in 64GB eMMC in CrystalDiskMark.
Slightly better PCMark 10 scores with faster reading and writing speed. Don’t expect much improvement in other departments.
NEO J50C-4 is getting excellent result too. Almost the same performance as G41V-4 in CrystalDiskMark.
Again, PCMark 10 scores increased slightly as well. No surprise here. Consistent great performance as expected.

- Up to 556 MB/s read & 491 MB/s write
- Pre-installed Windows 10 Pro
- Plug and play
- Easy & fast for mass deployment
- Excellent build quality
Limitations
- None from me
