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.

About Hardware Samsung KMQD60013M-B318

Samsung KMQD60013M-B318 is a 32GB eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) storage module designed for mobile devices, tablets, and embedded systems with a need for reliable, efficient, and affordable internal storage. Featuring eMMC 5.1 technology, the module delivers significant improvements in read/write speed and power efficiency over previous generation eMMC versions, making it a great choice for consistently supporting operating system and application performance.

The module uses Samsung's proven NAND flash memory, providing better stability, durability and power consumption efficiency over the long term. Its compact design also allows for seamless integration in embedded systems and entry- to mid-range smartphones, without sacrificing the basic performance required for everyday needs such as opening applications, storing photos/videos, and performing system updates.

The test was conducted using a Realme C2 device, equipped with a MediaTek MT6762V SoC (Helio P22), 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of Samsung eMMC 5.1 KMQD60013M-B318 internal storage. The system runs on Android 9 with the ColorOS 6 interface, giving a real sense of how this eMMC performs in real-world use.

Benchmark results show that this storage module delivers quite responsive performance for its class. In tests using AnTuTu Benchmark v10 (Mobile) for storage tests, the Samsung KMQD60013M-B318 recorded read speeds of up to 183.7 MB/s and write speeds of 40.0 MB/s, which is sufficient to ensure a smooth user experience in running applications or moving between menus.

Meanwhile, in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the results obtained were 80.64 MB/s (read) and 12.15 MB/s (write), reflecting actual performance in cross-platform scenarios or mixed load usage. Testing with PCMark for Android - Storage 2.0 also gave numbers close to AnTuTu's results, with 182.94 MB/s for read and 13.34 MB/s for write, showing consistent performance in various synthetic tests.

Overall, the Samsung KMQD60013M-B318 32GB eMMC 5.1 is an economical yet competent internal storage solution, suitable for use in entry-level mobile devices that prioritize power efficiency, long-term reliability, and stable base performance. Whether used in smartphones, IoT devices, or other embedded systems, this module offers added value with Samsung's signature quality.
