my chuwi tablet had the eMMC suddenly die, it disappeared from the point of view of any software, kernel or uefi.

the brand is trash.

If it was running Windows - no wonder, Windows is horrible at constantly writing … something to disk, and eMMC's are not high endurance devices. The flash itself had nothing to do with Chuwi and was most likely manufactured by either SanDisk or Kingston, it would have failed likewise in ASUS/Lenovo/whoever else made those crap Intel Atom + 4 GB RAM + 64 GB eMMC devices.

  • it was running linux and it died within the first few months of barely any use. i don't know what vendor the eMMC came from but they chose it.
