In http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/dell...-11-print.html I just found:
a.) "Clover Trail does not support SSD"
and
b.) "It's an eMMC SSD, not a SATA SSD".

If a.) is true (is it?), all Atom tablets would have eMMC? Is the term "SSD" still correct then? Or is it misleading or even wrong?

What does b.) mean? SATA is the interface, right? So it's not about storage type, but about interface = controller? So, does this mean the speed of the memory theoretically would be the same but the type of controller is some bottleneck?
