Dell Venue 8 Pro: 32GB + microSD or 64GB?

[sokje]

Hey guys,

I'm going to buy a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet (the one with Windows) soon.
Now I know the built-in storage is the 'cheaper' eMMC variant instead of a real SSD. Is the speed difference between the fastest microSD and the eMMC drive big?

I am going to try out some Steam games on it like Half-Life 2 which is why I'm asking this, because I'm going to tweak the game a lot and my framerate might benefit from a faster storage device.

I have a Dell Venue 8 pro (64GB) and i have torchlight 2 installed. It runs pretty well with everything on low. I also just did a Crystal disk mark on the built in storage and got 57.03 MB/s sequential read and 37.63 MB/s sequential writes. That's faster than any micro SD card i have ever seen.
