eMMC (embedded Multi-Media Card) is a type of storage that is offered in an industry-standard BGA package consisting of both flash memory and a flash memory controller integrated on the same silicon die. Performance of eMMC storage is somewhere between speed of HDDs and SSDs. eMMCs are often paired with cloud storage, i.e. education segments where the files are stored on a remote server. Benefits of using eMMC • Better performance compared to HDD • Completely quiet compared to HDD • Low cost/performance solution compared to SSD Downside of eMMC • Not easily replaceable if it’s soldered in the motherboard • Limited capacity being the common capacity range 32GB to 128GB • Slower performance when compared to SSD • eMMCs are often paired with cloud storage, i.e. files are stored on a remote server
