Will purchasing an NVMe SSD noticably improve performance
#20
I do not have a SSD adapter that I can use yet, so I tested only on the eMMC 128G and a class 10 SD device

mmcblk2 is the eMMC and mmcblk1 is the SD card. You can ignore the HDD mentions, I had to adapt a tool that is used for another tests.

WARNING: you have disable RPM check, tool will fail if prerequisites listed on the README file are not installed

ERROR: drive mmcblk1p1 with mean latency of 36.61 does not pass the HDD latency KPI of 15.0 for test mmcblk1p1_randread_128k
ERROR: drive type HDD has IOPS percentage difference of 63.92 which does not pass the KPI of 10 for IOPS difference for same drive type for test mmcblk1p1_randread_128k
OK: drive type HDD has latency percentage difference of 64.11 which does not pass the KPI of 10 for latency difference for same drive type for test mmcblk1p1_randread_128k
INFO: drive type SSD was not tested, so no percentage difference applies for test mmcblk1p1_randread_128k
INFO: drive type NVME was not tested, so no percentage difference applies for test mmcblk1p1_randread_128k
ERROR: the difference between drives is not acceptable by the KPIs

Summary of this run:
FAILURE: All drives do not fulfill the KPIs. You *cannot* continue with the next steps
ERROR: The settings of this test run do not qualify as a valid run to check thr KPIs. You *cannot* continue with the next steps

So it seems that for randread 128K the eMMC has x3 times IOPS and almost 3 times less latency, so no brainer to get a eMMC and use it as primary device. While numbers are far from what I would expect from a SSD I guess the electrical factor vs a SSD is to be measured too. When I get an adpater I can use I will do the same test vs a device there .
