using the eMMC/usb adapter, you can flash an OS directly on to your eMMC
(There are some boot instructions on the factory eMMC, those will not be included in most of todays OSes.)
Running from the sd card is not terrible, and it is a great way to try multiple OSes, before installing to the eMMC.

If you do buy a new eMMC from the Pine64 Store, I would suggest getting the eMMC to usb adapter at the same time,
It is only $5. ($4.99) and it may prove useful in the future.
