SSD vs HDD vs EMMC?

Think about small laptop on the go. Since HDDs are probably inappropriate, so much memory I do not need. In various cheaper models about 300 euro, I've now read that eMMCs are installed. I do not even know anything about them. Does anyone have a laptop with eMMC, experience, can one go to break broken data? (Read https://tipps.computerbild.de/hardware/komponenten/was-ist-emmc-549955.html eMMC is similar to SD card. How to? Simply SD card in bigger?)

Advantages of SSD over eMMC? Have read faster data transfer rate. Will not synonymous HD streaming videos or gamble a lot.

You can imagine an eMMC like an SD card… If it's broken, it's broken. Exchanging is often difficult and to connect such a thing externally is also stupid. Restore data is hardly possible.

But they are cheap, hardly use space and can read fast. Disadvantage: you write slowly. But if you do not create and copy huge files, it fits

If you do not need a lot of storage space, I definitely recommend the SSD. Is more shockproof than an HDD and much faster.

But SD cards are theoretically quite durable… EMMCs seem to be but mostly eingeschweisst? So if the laptop is broken as you say could cause problems… But you could still pull important things on Stick.

And eMMC? If SD card similar also shockproof?

EMMC's are soldered on mainboard. If something breaks down, you can throw out the notebook (you can exchange eMMC worthwhile but usually no longer) and forget your data (data recovery difficult and much more expensive).

SSD (M.2 or Sata) are simply interchangeable, so if the notebook says goodbye the data, if the SSD then the notebook remains intact.

I already heard the word eMMC, but honestly I do not know what that is.

It seems to be a kind of cheap replacement for SSDs, just another type of hard drive which, as I said above, is similar to an SD card. I do not even knowhttps://www.golem.de/news/kaufberatung-worauf-es-bei-einem-notebook-ankommt-1412-110966-11.html

Yes, if the memory is broken, the repair becomes much more expensive. I recommend one with a proper hard drive.

If you clean a good SSD (for example, Samsung EVO) and do not write much, it also lasts forever, as SSDs are not "consumed" while reading. A 128GB SSD would be enough, if you really do not care much and also uses USB sticks

Thank you did not see it, I did not know yet.
