eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard)

eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) is a type of storage used inside devices like smartphones, tablets, and some laptops. It functions as the device’s built-in memory, storing the operating system, apps, and data. eMMC combines a flash memory chip with a controller in a small chip package, allowing it to read and write data efficiently. While it is cost-effective and reliable for everyday use, eMMC generally offers slower speeds compared to other storage types like SSDs. Its integrated design makes it ideal for compact devices where space, power efficiency, and cost are important factors.
