Toshiba Releases New Generation UFS 2.1 Flash Memory: 256GB Capacity, 200% Performance Increase

[PConline News] Smartphones are not only offering more storage but also delivering faster performance. The new generation of UFS standards is now keeping pace with SSDs and has become the preferred choice for high-end devices. Toshiba recently announced the launch of its next-generation UFS 2.1 flash memory, powered by the latest 64-layer BiCS 3 technology. It comes in capacities ranging from 32GB to 256GB, featuring BGA packaging, with read speeds reaching up to 900MB/s and a 200% improvement in random performance compared to previous generations.

Currently, UFS 2.1 flash memory used in smartphones is mainly supplied by Samsung and Toshiba. While Samsung holds the largest market share, it's primarily used in its own devices. Even then, there are shortages, which is why the Galaxy S8 series also relies on Toshiba’s UFS 2.1 memory. Toshiba has previously released several UFS 2.1 options, but this time, the technology has been upgraded with the latest 64-layer BiCS 3 flash memory. This upgrade brings better performance and lower power consumption than the previous generation.

Toshiba’s new UFS 2.1 flash memory starts at 32GB, with options including 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. It integrates both the controller and flash chips, supporting the JEDEC standard 11.5x13mm package. In terms of speed, the new UFS 2.1 supports HS-Gear3 with a data rate of 5.8 Gbps per channel, and dual channels can reach up to 11.6 Gbps. Specifically, the 64GB version offers a read speed of 900MB/s and a write speed of 180MB/s. Random performance has seen significant improvements, with random reads increasing by 200% and random writes by 185%, nearly doubling overall performance.

This advancement highlights the growing importance of UFS technology in modern smartphones, especially as users demand faster access to data and smoother multitasking. With Toshiba pushing the boundaries of performance and efficiency, we can expect even more powerful devices in the near future.
