As a result, the best eMMC modules deliver sequential read speeds of about 100 MB/s and write speeds of about 40 MB/s, as opposed to SSD drives delivering 400 MB/s reads and 150 MB/s writes. The ability to access data stored in multiple flash cells at the same time is what makes SSD drives so fast and so comparatively expensive.ĮMMC memory lacks this parallelism, only allowing sequential reads and writes. Instead, they simply read and write data from (or to) multiple flash cells in parallel. SSD drives are as fast not because they are using a special type of ultra-fast flash memory. SSD drives are generally much faster compared to eMMC in return, eMMC memory is much cheaper compared to a similarly sized SSD drive. The main difference between eMMC memory and SSD drive is the speed. The Difference Between eMMC and SSD Drives Similarly, if you are buying a tablet, an ultrabook or a netbook, it will most likely come with built-in eMMC storage instead of a fully featured SSD drive. If you see a phone with “16 GB memory”, that’s 16 GB of eMMC storage. To put it simply, eMMC is a non-removable memory card that is soldered onto a circuit board. eMMC is an abbreviation of “embedded MMC”, or “embedded Multimedia Card”. What is eMMC?ĮMMC is a type of solid-state storage commonly used in smartphones and tablets.
What we didn’t cover so far is yet another class of storage media commonly called as “eMMC”. Recently, we added an article on recovering information from hybrid hard drives that combine a traditional magnetic hard disk with a smaller but very fast SSD.
In our blog, we are writing a lot about recovering information from SSD drives.
