Hi Gerald,

Based on the specs, you would think that eMMC would run faster, but it
doesn¹t. Run the following Linux command to test the speed of each device:
sudo hdparm ­tT /dev/mmc0blk0p1

SDCard 21MB/s
eMMC 12MB/s

This doesn¹t make sense, but perhaps there is something else going on.

Regards,
John
