Re: [beagleboard] 4G eMMC Durability?

eMMC and SD cards are almost the same as Gerald said. eMMC is based on MLC NAND MLC NAND enables around 10k write cycles SLC NAND enables more than 100k write cycles. That is why we use only SLC in our industrial products. I'm sure when you supply products with 5 year warranty you don't want to

Re: [beagleboard] 4G eMMC Durability?

I wasn't seeing data corruption due to Linux but from the cards going completely kaput. No amount of effort seemed to restore them. I was under the impression the eMMC used MLC rather than TLC or MBC? That would imply a different controller and ideally a much longer lifespan. On Wednesday,

Re: [beagleboard] 4G eMMC Durability?

Reliability at the cell level is the exactly the same. he controller is exactly the same. However, having more unused space enhances the wear leveling where cells get used less often. It does not however prevent issues with data corruption for any Linux issues. Gerald On Wed, May 21, 2014 a

[beagleboard] 4G eMMC Durability?

I have about 150 beaglebone's running wild over a large geographical area, basically all over British Columbia. When I first deployed them last year they all started failing within about a month. That amounted to a lot of needless driving, hair pulling, forehead banging and just general over
