Toshiba Memory Corporation, the world leader in memory solutions, has today started sampling Universal Flash Storage (UFS) devices utilizing Toshiba Memory Corporation's cutting-edge 64-layer, BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory. The new UFS devices meet performance demands for applications that require high-speed read/write performance and low power consumption, including mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, and augmented and virtual reality systems.

The new line-up will be available in four capacities: 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. All of the devices integrate flash memory and a controller in a single, JEDEC-standard 11.5 x 13 mm package. The controller performs error correction, wear leveling, logical-to-physical address translation and bad-block management, allowing users to simplify system development.



All four devices are compliant with JEDEC UFS Ver 2.1, including HS-GEAR3, which has a theoretical interface speed of up to 5.8 Gbps per lane (x2 lanes = 11.6 Gbps) while also suppressing any increase in power consumption. Sequential read and write performance of the 64 GB device are 900 MB/s and 180 MB/s, while the random read and write performance are around 200% and 185% better, respectively, than those of previous generation devices. Due to its serial interface, UFS supports full duplexing, which enables both concurrent reading and writing between the host processor and UFS device.

Really looking forward to some cool new devices, with at least 256gb of storage capacity, that will make use of these. Hopefully at least a few higher end tablets, both Android and Windows 10. I wouldn't mind something capable of storing 512gb, as soon as technology allows for it.
