Replacing emmc 32Gb with 128Gb? compatibility? socket?

hi, i have got an asus trasformer T200 with an emmc of 32Gb. new upgrade of win10 is impossible because memory is insufficient. i would like to replace this memory with a emmc of 128Gb. do you know what is the socket name? amperage? voltage? power?

in this video emmc is removed in a samsung note2

this is possible in the T200 ?

Hi Angelo, did you manage to find a solution to this?

I have the same problem and Asus support does not seem to know how to address this.

You should also provide what CPU you have onboard. Microsoft Windows 10 fall creators 2017 does not support older atom processors.

There are a couple of options: First, you can upgrade the eMMC flash. Watch this video.

As you can see from the video, you'll have to open the netbook, desolder (via heat) the chip on the mobo, and install the new chip. Whether that board/bios can support a 128gb eMMC chip is unknown to me as of yet, but a 128GB card IS available.

Second, you can work with what you have and install a Linux distro instead. However, that can be problematic too.

Also, the other poster is correct. What were they thinking in designing a netbook that only has 32GB eMMC with no possibility for HDD/SSD upgrade/use and not allowing system memory to be sent to a card? Further, with Win10 as the OS, since it has constant updates, when you get this netbook you barely have 13GB to start. I doubt that this netbook would have sold nearly as well if people had known of this hardware/software issue.

Unfortunately, the emmc is soldered to the mainboard of the device, so there's no way to upgrade it.

It might be possible to get windows 10 on there, but the 32gb of storage is a serious restriction to it. There are some people that get it done, but really is only recommended for the 64gb models.

The Windows 10 upgrade has an option to use external storage to hold the old files. You can use an SD card for the purpose. Not as convenient and slower, but at least it allows you to do the upgrade.

You dont need to upgrade the drive if you have a spare usb connect an external drive but dont format Win 10 has a built in Disk Management tool the new drive must have no partition on it if it has then you need to right click it and delete the volume first right click on the new drive and delete volume now right click on the system partition( in most cases the c:drive) choose extend volume from the menu, click next on this window click on the new drive and add at this point you can choose to add the whole drive or part of it if you choose only a part of it say 500Mb of a 1 Tb drive you can format the rest into a seperate backup drive afterwards with its own drive letter follow the prompts and you should have a larger system drive to handle any upgrade this is reversable afterwards if you dont want the drive always attached. alternatively in the settings, system, storage area it is posible to have all programs and apps loaded to another drive instead of your sytem drive. there are several areas here you can alter from loadnig new apps, documents, music, pictures and videos all can be set to goto another drive by default. which in turn will keep your system drive small especially if you only have a small 32GB eMMC system drive Tim

I inserted a ntfs formatted sd card and used diskpart to attach it as a folder under c:/

Then I booted from some bootable usb stick and renamed two folders: the original program files folder (that you cannot rename with the OS running) I named Donald. The attached folder (physically it’s the sd card) I named program files. Moved the contents from Donald’s small memory there. Sent Donald to the trash, emptied bin. Rebooted normally - t‘works!

Second measure: The sd card can still be seen as Volume D:/ in the explorer. I went to the system generated my documents, my pictures, my movies etc folders and opened properties each time. Surprisingly, here you’ll find a tab where you can read AND SET the physical storage location. I sat them each to a folder I newly prepared under D:/.

With programs and documents gone, the OS is alone at home on the emmc and is running.

NB: Docs are visible to every user now!

I have the Acer R3-131T with the 32gb eMMc disc soldered to the board. As has been said unless you have specialised micro desoldering/soldering tools it cant be replaced upgraded, it will NOT be cost efective!!

I had the same issue with a couple of other devices when windows 10 first came out. In fact win10 “will not install to a 32gb drive under any circumstances” no matter which of the native options it provides that you might choose when upgrading OS!

(Microsoft had already all but stated in a press release that they didnt want their new OS running on small drives that would not run their OS profficiently and therefore making users critical of its performance).

The most cost effective work around is the one that Tim Cull posted. I have bought very cheap 8gb nano usb flash drives/micro sdcards and used the disc management tool to include these flash drives as “internal” storage to extend the size of the eMMc for all my 32gb devices including cheap tablets with micro sdcard slots and done fresh installs from a separate usb stick containing the latest mounted ISO of windows 10.

There are videos of how to use disc management tool to extend internal storage easily. Once you have done this although your device can boot up without the nano inserted, all that you will have to remember to do is to ensure the nano usb drive IS in its port each time you boot up your device. Essentially the nano usb drive WILL always occupy one of your usb ports on your device and be recognised as part of internal storage.

All my originally 32gb, nano usb extended devices are running perfectly fast and automatically update windows 10 without problems.

Well, I'm 2 years late to the June 2016 Discussion Party here; but for others such as myself who like Angelo, the OP, are looking for similar answers on upgrading their eMMC, SATA, or HDD internal Memory Storage on their older and/or cheaper equipment; I found these 2 very informative and easily understandable articles in Laptop Magazine. Enjoy!

I know this is an old thread but I managed to upgrade the 32Gb chip on the Asus TF100 Transformer to 128Gb. I am happy with the win 8.1 as I don't use it for much more than invoicing/databasing parts orders.

The real issue for you is whether or not the processor is supported by win 10.

I have an ASUS T100-TAM with 32Gb eMMC. Curiously, I had no problem upgrading to Windows 10 several years ago, but performance degraded with all the upgrades in the meantime to the extent that I finally did a clean Windows 10 installation and only use the tablet portion detached as a reader using the Kindle app under Win10. But I really like the convertible tablet arrangement, so I'd be interested in knowing how you upgraded the eMMC to 128Gb. Did you have to unsolder the 32Gb one and solder the 128Gb one in its place? I would probably find that too daunting, but there are 64Gb motherboards available for the T100 that might be a doable fix. Can you think of any reason offhand why replacing the 32Gb motherboard with a 64Gb motherboard would not work presuming that the form/fit is the same?
