There are a multitude of storage options, and you're likely to come across eMMC and SSD storage types when shopping around, but which is right for you?

eMMC vs. SSD storage: What's the difference? Best answer: Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) and solid-state drive (SSD) storage had a lot in common, including using NAND flash memory.

A newer PCIe Gen 4 SSD, such as Samsung's 980 Pro, pushes 7,000 MB/s. For context, a 7200-rpm SATA HDD like the Seagate Barracuda manages around 200 MB/s.

Still, for those of us without an SSD, this is a cheaper upgrade than getting a new SSD. And the combination of SSD with RAM disk will take your computer performance to a whole new level.

Prices of SSD and eMMC devices will continue to rise in the second quarter of 2017 due to tight supply of NAND flash chips, according to DRAMeXchange.
