MultiMediaCard is one word, no?Really?
... I'm pretty sure it's one word in Germany, but I've seen it used both ways in the US. Point of fact, though: if you feed "MultiMediaCard" to Google, it will return a lot of hits, but it will ask you if you meant "MultiMedia card", which gives you even more hits... so the popular consensus seems to lean toward two words. For all that's worth.
"Note: The term MultiMediaCards is always spelled out as one string, with the MM and C in caps. The MultiMediaCard Association may be abbreviated MMCA. These terms, as well as SecureMMC, are registered trademarks of the MultiMediaCard Association." From the MMCA web site. This article should be renamed. ---Ransom (-- 208.25.0.2 16:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC))
In other news, the "Embedded systems developer specs at Sandisk" link is broken. Maybe it should point to http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/OEM/ApplicationNotes/MultiMediaCard/AppNoteMMC_SDv1.0.pdf? I can't be sure since I don't know what the original document was.
Camel case indeed... The MMC Association uses "MultiMediaCard" instead of "Multimedia Card" or "MultiMedia Card". 200.153.242.116 04:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
The samsung links under [3] and [4] no longer work. I couldn't find any replacements.
What does this phrase actually mean?
I noticed in this article that there are places where it says "MMC card". Isn't saying 'MMC card' sort of redundant? After all, MMC stands for MultiMediaCard, so saying "MMC card" is like saying MultiMediaCard card, isn't it? 131.230.53.188 19:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't eMMC be expanded to "Embedded MMC" in the EMCC section? TheRammer ( talk) 17:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Does MMC really *compete* with SD cards? Anything that reads SD can read MMC cards. I've never seen MMC only devices. -- 24.249.108.133 18:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Is MMCPlus really backwards compatible w/ all MMC-versions?
Because one in a store I have seen a MMCPlus card and on the package it only said, that it is fully backwards compatible w/ MMC 2.x and 3.x, but it said nothing about MMC 1.x. -- MrBurns ( talk) 01:19, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Does the JEDEC MMC specification require 1.8V/3.3V (dual-voltage) operation, or is it just an option? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whiley miley ( talk • contribs) 04:36, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
JESD84-B51 specifies that the device must support a Vcc of 1.70 V–1.95 and/or V 2.7 V–3.6 V (See section 10.3.3 of JESD84-B51). So it is optional, though not supporting the 1.8V operation limits the feature set. Blitzvergnugen ( talk) 21:25, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
In the past, what is the Lowest-Capacity that EXISTS for each of these card types? I'm not talking about the standard, but what is the lowest card that ever shipped.

I've deleted the following paragraph from the Secure Digital article. I don't know whether its assertions are true or false, but it seems to completely describe MMC cards. (In addition, it is unauthoritative, and its final note on how one might implement an MMC as a partly disabled SD is speculation.) Editors familiar with this article on MMC might consider whether it needs to include this information in some form. Spike-from-NH ( talk) 13:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
I think we need to merge MMCmicro and miCard into this article. Please discuss. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 01:10, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
According to this HowToGeek article there is some kind of distinction between SSD and eMMC but this article is part of the "solid state computer storage media" category... and I got the impression when it mentioned "traditional solid-state drives" I figured that meant MMC were non-traditional SSDs and said they were SSDs in the intro. Did I intepret this wrong? If not SSDs then what are MMCs classified as?
The term 'solid state' is in the category. Would it be an SSC, a solid-state card? -- 64.228.88.135 ( talk) 23:17, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
SSDs typically refer to a solid-state storage medium that communicates over a traditional hard disk bus protocol, such as SATA. eMMC can be used as the solid-state medium that makes up an SSD, but it could also be any type of Flash Memory or other solid-state memory device. Blitzvergnugen ( talk) 21:46, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
Please add images of eMMC. Also, it seems that eMMC is not user-pluggable. The article should make this simple basic fact very clear! The term eMMC is confusingly self-contradictory. "Card" would seem to suggest user changeability. "Embedded" tends to mean "physically hidden", and then may or may not be changeable if somehow exposed to physical access. But in this case the "e" seems to mean both hidden and also soldered in place?- 96.233.20.34 ( talk) 18:20, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
There should be an eMMC column added to the table.
The article suggests that eMMC is not user changeable, but we can see a case here where it effectively is user changeable: https://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145622510341 --> https://web.archive.org/web/20181028123959/https://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145622510341 _[comment: the above mentioned link is dead, so. but visual editing is blocked for some reasons, and i dont remember syntax for dead links myself]_. This seems to be rare, so it is probably exceptional. Jasonnet ( talk) 04:03, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
As the original description stated (taken from the archived version of its website http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130116231646/http://www.theminidrive.com/TheMiniDrive.com/Specs.html) The MiniDrive is an adapter that allows anyone to add additional storage space to a laptop through use of a (64gb) microSD card. It slips into the MacBook’s SD card slot to enable a semi-permanent, on-board, secondary storage drive. In other words it's just a microSD to SD adapter, whose length is shortened to that of an RS-MMC for the purpose of long-term installation in SD card readers from which standard microSD to SD adapters would protrude. It will obviously not work in MMC/MMC+ based devices that don't support SD (e. g. Nokia Symbian Series 60 V1/V2 smartphones). I am deleting the paragraph about it from the article.

Hey everyone
Most of the articles about the miCARD seems to point that sales will begin as of june 2007. However I can't seem to find any information about this.
Does this card really exists ? Or was it only a project ?
Thanks a lot
