Embedded Memory & USB
- Embedded memory is typically used for the system's operating system and files that are pertinent to the operation of the device. It may also offer some additional memory for extra files. For example, embedded memory in a camera may be used to record photos even when the camera's memory card is not installed.
- The size of an embedded memory chip is not usually very big and not intended for mass storage. The embedded memory is usually directly linked to the device's features whereas a removable storage card or other memory device is subservient and primarily intended for mass storage of information such as photos or music. USB drives also have embedded memory that help them perform their functions such as transferring files to a computer.
- Because of its importance in a device's operations, the embedded memory should not be moved or altered unless necessary. If embedded memory becomes infected, it may be possible to restore it to default setting using a factory bin file.
