Samsung introduces 256GB high-speed storage for smartphones, tablets

02/24/2016 at 6:36 PM by Brad Linder Leave a Comment

Many high-end smartphones offer up to 64GB of storage. A few are available with 128GB. And a handful go even further than that.

But Samsung says it’s now mass producing a 256GB embedded memory chip that will provide plenty of speedy storage for next-gen mobile devices.

The new 256GB memory is based on the Universal Flash Storage 2.0 standard, and Samsung says it offers speeds almost twice as fast as a SATA SSD, with data read speeds up to 805MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 260MB/s.

And you thought that new SanDisk microSD card was fast.

Among other things, Samsung says that means the internal storage of premium smartphones will finally be fast enough to handle the super-fast data transfers you get on devices with USB 3.0 ports… allowing you to transfer a 5GB video file in 12 seconds, for example.

I was thinking more of the speed of the memory, but good to know!

It was about time for them to have a faster UFS 2.0 and catch up but at that capacity it has little relevance.

Edit: you missed the most important part – random at 45,000 IOPS read and 40,000 IOPS write – random write is impressive.

A thousand internets to the man who brings me a smartphone UFS 2.0 internal storage, and UHS-2 SD card compatibility.

Samsungs memory chips actually do 805Mbps, or the UFS2 interface is capable of 805Mbps?
