Samsung unveils UFS, its first removable memory card
Posted on: 10/Jul/2016 12:35:50 PM
Samsung’s first removable memory card in Universal Flash Storage, or UFS, was unveiled. The card has a storage capacity ranging between 32 GB to 256 GB. The UFS is designed for use in high-resolution mobile shooting devices such as DSLRs, 3D VR cameras, action cams and drones. Moreover, the company boasts that the card can attain read and write speeds of up to 530MB/s.
Samsung hopes that the UFS card will provide greatly improved user experiences, especially in high-resolution 3D gaming and high-resolution movie playback. The company said that the card provides more than five times faster sequential read performance compared to that of a typical microSD card, reading sequentially at 530 megabytes per second, or MB/s, which is similar to the sequential read speed of the most widely used SATA SSDs. With this UFS card, consumers have the ability to read a 5GB, Full-HD movie in approximately 10 seconds, compared to a typical UHS-1 microSD card, which would take over 50 seconds with 95 MB/s of sequential reading speed. Also, at a random read rate of 40,000 IOPS, the 256GB card delivers more than 20 times higher random read performance compared to a typical microSD, which offers approximately 1,800 IOPS.
With respect to writing, the new 256GB UFS card processes 35,000 random IOPS, which is 350 times higher than the 100 IOPs of a typical microSD card, and attains a 170MB/s sequential write speed, almost doubling the top-end microSD card speed. With these substantial performance improvements, the new 256GB UFS card significantly reduces multimedia data downloading time, photo thumbnail loading time and buffer clearing time in burst shooting mode, which, collectively, can be particularly beneficial to DSLR camera users. To shoot 24 large/extra fine JPEG photographs, or 1,120 megabyte i.e. MB equivalent, continuously with a high-end DSLR camera, the 256GB UFS card takes less than seven seconds, compared to a UHS-1 microSD card which typically takes about 32 seconds, at 35MB/s.
