The Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard is used by all mobile devices, photo and video equipment. The widespread adoption has been UFS 3.1. This marking can be seen in the description of chipsets, in the “storage” section. Under this symbol, a type of NAND 6th generation memory is understood. Where the write speed is 1.2 Gb/s, and read speed is 2 Gb/s. The new UFS 4.0 standard from Samsung, which has already passed JEDEC certification, offers a greater increase in read/write speeds.
Samsung Introduces UFS 4.0 Standard
“Introduces” is an understatement. The news spread across mobile device manufacturers in seconds. According to the specifications, UFS 4.0 demonstrates a read speed of 4.2 Gb/s and a write speed of 2.8 Gb/s. Moreover, a UFS 4.0 chip module can have minimum dimensions of 11x13x1 mm. And capacity – up to 1 TB (inclusive).
It is not difficult to guess that the implementation of solid-state drives of the UFS 4.0 standard will first be seen in Samsung Galaxy series smartphones. Or maybe tablets. Approximate, chip manufacturers for mobile devices will gain access to UFS 4.0 technology only from 2023. Fortunately, Samsung Pro Endurance microSD memory cards are available.
