Correct me if I’m mistaken, but isn’t eMMC literally just an embedded SD card?

- cvakiitho 6y agoIt is, and it is better because it probably has better chips, but it will die, and brick RPi in the future.
- avian 6y agoAs someone who has also worked with fleets of devices (R.Pi-based and others) working off SD-cards, I can confirm what jon-wood is saying. For some reason SD cards fail at a much higher rate than eMMC flash chips in traditional SMT packages.
- makomk 6y agoSame interface as an SD card, but better firmware and probably higher quality flash. SD cards are really aggressively cost-cut, often coming in than less than the price of raw flash of the same capacity.
