The Geekom Megamini G1 with Intel Core i9 comes with a 2TB SSD pre-installed. However, since this gaming PC is designed for games that can take up hundreds of gigabytes, storage space fills up quickly. This issue can be easily resolved: the motherboard has an additional SSD slot. This slot is not as powerful as the primary one, meaning that a high-performance SSD may not be fully utilized. Additionally, the second slot in the Megamini G1 is not a full-size SSD slot, so a shorter SSD, such as the Corsair MP600 Micro, is required.
To begin the storage upgrade, the PC must first be powered off. Then, the power supply, HDMI cable, and any connected mouse or keyboard adapters should be disconnected.
In this case, a Corsair MP600 Micro is being installed. To open the bottom panel, the G1 is laid flat. There is a screw hidden beneath each of the four rubber feet. The adhesive on these feet may require some patience to remove, but with a bit of effort, they can be taken off easily. To avoid losing them, it's best to keep them in one place. The same applies to the four screws that now need to be removed. Once the screws are out, the bottom panel can be lifted off. Underneath, there is a metal cover with an integrated heatsink for both SSDs, which must also be removed.
The SSD slot already contains a screw for mounting. This screw is easily removed with a screwdriver. Once it is removed, the new SSD can be installed. A longer SSD might physically fit in the slot, but it cannot be secured because the BIOS battery is located in this area. Leaving an SSD unsecured is not advisable. The MP600 Micro, on the other hand, can be fully screwed into place.
After installing the SSD, the Megamini G1 can be reassembled. There is no need to worry about excessive temperatures, as the heatsink in the metal cover also reaches the MP600 Micro. In Windows, the new SSD must first be initialized. To do this, the GUID Partition Table (GPT) is selected. At this stage, the SSD is not yet partitioned. To create a partition, right-click on the SSD and choose the option to create a new volume. During this process, the file system type and volume name can be set. For a new SSD, a quick format is sufficient, and after about 18 seconds, the SSD is ready to use.
With this SSD upgrade, the Geekom Megamini G1 now has a total of 4TB of storage. The MP600 Micro typically achieves read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s. However, in the Megamini G1, performance is lower: read speeds are around 3,503.94 MB/s, while write speeds are slightly slower at 3,378.43 MB/s. As a result, the second SSD is best suited for data storage.
