SEOUL, Korea <\/strong>\u2015<\/strong> February 27, 2019 <\/strong>\u2015<\/strong><\/span> Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.<\/strong>, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has begun mass producing the industry\u2019s first 512-gigabyte (GB) embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) 3.0 for next-generation mobile devices. In line with the latest eUFS 3.0 specification, the new Samsung memory delivers twice the speed of the previous eUFS storage (eUFS 2.1), allowing mobile memory to support seamless user experiences in future smartphones with ultra-large high-resolution screens.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeginning mass production of our eUFS 3.0 lineup gives us a great advantage in the next-generation mobile market to which we are bringing a memory read speed that was before only available on ultra-slim laptops,\u201d said Cheol Choi, executive vice president of Memory Sales & Marketing at Samsung Electronics.<\/strong> \u201cAs we expand our eUFS 3.0 offerings, including a 1-Terabyte (TB) version later this year, we expect to play a major role in accelerating momentum within the premium mobile market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samsung produced the industry-first UFS interface with eUFS 2.0 in January, 2015, which was 1.4 times faster than the mobile memory standard at that time, referred to as the embedded multi-media card (eMMC) 5.1. In just four years, the company\u2019s newest eUFS 3.0 matches the performance of today\u2019s ultra-slim notebooks.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s 512GB eUFS 3.0 stacks eight of the company\u2019s fifth-generation 512-gigabit (Gb) V-NAND die and integrates a high-performance controller. At 2,100 megabytes-per-second (MB\/s), the new eUFS doubles the sequential read rate of Samsung\u2019s latest eUFS memory (eUFS 2.1) which was announced in January. The new solution\u2019s blazing read speed is four times faster than that of a SATA solid state drive (SSDs) and 20 times faster than a typical microSD card, allowing premium smartphones to transfer a Full HD movie to a PC in about three seconds*.<\/p>\n

In addition, the sequential write speed also has been improved by 50 percent to 410MB\/s, which is equivalent to that of a SATA SSD.<\/p>\n

The new memory\u2019s random read and write speeds provide up to a 36-percent increase over the current eUFS 2.1 industry specification, at 63,000 and 68,000 Input\/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), respectively. With the significant gains in random read and writes that are more than 630 times faster than general microSD cards (100 IOPS), a number of complex applications can be simultaneously run, while achieving enhanced responsiveness, especially on the newest generation of mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Following the 512GB eUFS 3.0 as well as a 128GB version that are both launching this month, Samsung plans to produce 1TB and 256GB models in the second half of the year, to further help global device manufacturers in better delivering tomorrow\u2019s mobile innovations.<\/p>\n

* Editor\u2019s note: The calculation is based on transferring a 3.7GB full HD movie file from a mobile device with the 512GB eUFS 3.0 to a PC with a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) interface SSD.<\/em><\/p>\n
