UFS 4.0 - Samsung breaks stereotypes

The Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard is used by all mobile devices, photo and video equipment. UFS 3.1 has become widespread. It is this marking that can be seen in the description of the chipsets, in the "data storage" section. This symbolism refers to the type of NAND memory of the 6th generation. Where the write speed is 1.2 Gb / s, and read - 2 Gb / s. Samsung's new UFS 4.0 standard, already JEDEC-certified, provides a greater boost in read/write speeds.

 

Samsung introduced the UFS 4.0 standard

 

Presented is putting it mildly. The news spread throughout the manufacturers of mobile equipment in a matter of seconds. After all, judging by the specification, UFS 4.0 demonstrates a speed of 4.2 Gb / s for reading and 2.8 Gb / s for writing. Moreover, a ROM module with a UFS 4.0 chip can have a minimum size of 11x13x1 mm. And the capacity is up to 1 TB (inclusive).

It is easy to guess that we will see the implementation of UFS 4.0 standard solid state drives first in Samsung Galaxy series smartphones. Or maybe tablets. Tentatively, manufacturers of chips for mobile equipment will have access to UFS 4.0 technology only from 2023. Good, memory cards Samsung Pro Endurance microSD are freely available.
