What is the difference between ceramic and metallic brake pads?

Well one is made of ceramic and one is metal. But the real differences show up in different performance characteristics. Most are very minor though.

Trucks and SUVs with open wheels exposing the rotors etc have this small cosmetic problem, especially in the front where most of the braking is done.
