Modern computers, both laptops and desktops, often have SD slots, which can additionally read MMCs if the operating system drivers can. Since the introduction of SD cards, few companies build MMC slots into their devices (an exception is some mobile devices like the [[Nokia 9300]] communicator in 2004, where the smaller size of the MMC is a benefit), but the slightly thinner, pin-compatible MMCs can be used in almost any device that can use SD cards if the software/firmware on the device is capable.

While few companies build MMC slots into devices {{as of | 2018 | lc = on}}, due to SD cards dominating the [[memory card]] market, the embedded MMC ({{notatypo|e.MMC}}) is still widely used in consumer electronics as a primary means of integrated storage and [[boot loader]] in portable devices. eMMC provides a low-cost<ref>{{Cite web |title=eMMC Chips |url=https://www.mouser.com/c/semiconductors/memory-ics/emmc/?sort=pricing}}</ref> flash-memory system with a built-in controller that can reside inside an [[Android (operating system)|Android]] or [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] phone or in a low-cost PC and can appear to its host as a bootable device, in lieu of a more expensive form of solid-state storage, such as a traditional [[solid-state drive]].
