What It Is
Samsung 6th-Gen V-NAND UFS 3.0 Embedded Flash Storage is a high-speed non-volatile mobile storage solution engineered by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd..
Samsung's 512GB UFS 3.0 storage incorporates 6th-generation V-NAND (stacked 96+ layers) driven by a proprietary high-speed memory controller. Delivering sequential read speeds up to 2,100 MB/s and write speeds up to 410 MB/s over dual MIPI M-PHY Gear 4 lanes, it effectively doubled the transfer speed of UFS 2.1, eliminating app launch stutters and accelerating boot times.
What It Does & How It Coordinates Systems
Provides persistent storage for operating system binaries, application code, multimedia assets, and rapid virtual RAM swap paging.
Pioneering 2,100 MB/s dual-lane Gear 4 UFS storage that revolutionized mobile app installation and 4K video recording.
