About Hardware OPPO A15s eMMC 5.1

OPPO A15s eMMC 5.1 is the eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) version 5.1-based internal storage chip used in the OPPO A15s smartphone. The eMMC 5.1 technology is a significant upgrade from the previous generation, delivering faster read/write speeds, better power efficiency, and improved performance in data input/output management. While not as fast as the more modern UFS (Universal Flash Storage) technology, eMMC 5.1 remains a reliable storage standard for entry-level to mid-range smartphones.

This storage is designed to provide a seamless user experience, from opening apps, saving files, recording videos, to managing Android system data. It also plays an important role in operating system stability, lightweight multitasking, and response time when the device starts up or switches between apps.

The tests were conducted on an OPPO A15s device with MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) specifications, 4GB RAM, and 64GB internal storage, running on Android 10 operating system with ColorOS 7.2 interface. The test was conducted when the device had been in use for approximately two years, so the performance results may be slightly affected by NAND Flash performance degradation over time (wear leveling).

In a benchmark using the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile), the eMMC 5.1 on the OPPO A15s recorded a read speed of 145.27 MB/s and a write speed of 50.09 MB/s. This indicates that the storage performance is still solid enough for daily needs such as opening social media, streaming videos, accessing galleries, and saving files from third-party applications.

Overall, the eMMC 5.1 on the OPPO A15s is a well-balanced internal storage solution between price, efficiency, and performance, perfect for users who need a smartphone with responsive capabilities while remaining power efficient. For casual users, this performance is more than enough to run most popular Android apps without a hitch.

Device test (testbed):

Device: OPPO A15s
CPU: MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 64GB
OS: Android 10, ColorOS 7.2

* This hardware test was conducted after the device was approximately 2 years old, there may be some performance degradation.

About Hardware GeForce MX350 [Disk]

The NVIDIA GeForce MX350 is an entry-level GPU designed for thin and light laptops, delivering significant graphics performance improvements over the processor's built-in iGPU. The GPU is based on the Pascal architecture with 640 CUDA Cores, and features 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 memory with 64-bit bus width. The MX350 is generally used for light graphics tasks such as photo editing, light video, and casual gaming, and provides GPU acceleration for CUDA-enabled creative applications.

But in this particular test, a portion of the video memory (VRAM) on the GeForce MX350 was configured as a VRAMDisk. The concept of a VRAMDisk is similar to a RAMDisk, but it uses the VRAM of the GPU as a super-fast storage medium. VRAMDisk allows the creation of temporary, high-speed drives that can be utilized for technical experiments, speed testing, or graphics caching in certain scenarios. Although its capacity is limited and volatile (data is lost on reboot), the high bandwidth and low latency of VRAM provide compelling performance in certain contexts.

The tests were conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop with Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz dual channel RAM, and Windows 11 22H2 operating system. The VRAMDisk was created from a 2GB GeForce MX350 GPU, with virtual disk sizes of 1GB and 1.5GB, using special software called GPU RAM Drive.

Benchmark results with CrystalDiskMark recorded read speeds of 1113.58 MB/s and write speeds of 995.48 MB/s, showing the high bandwidth potential of VRAM as a temporary storage medium. Although the performance does not match DDR4-based RAMDisks, VRAMDisks remain a unique and attractive solution for certain technical purposes, especially for users who want to utilize idle VRAM for fast I/O processes. With its dedicated laptop GPU form factor and PCIe x4 Gen 3.0 interface, the GeForce MX350 VRAMDisk opens up new exploration possibilities in the world of experimental graphics-based high-speed storage.
