Benefits ​of Universal Flash Storage ​for mobile

UFS​ flash storage​ is the ideal interface for next-gen mobile devices, and here’s why:

Performance

​​UFS flash storage ​​e​nables much quicker load times for applications and files as well as faster device boot-up compared to e.MMC 5.1.

Multi-tasking responsiveness

​​UFS offer ​​​ a seamless experience when switching between multiple applications due to lower UFS latencies.

Camera performance

Universal Flash Storage ​​​provides​ a significant increase in performance over e.MMC 5.1 when shooting bursts of photos or multiple photo stitches like panoramas due to higher memory interface bandwidth.

Richer content

​​UFS flash storage enables seamless HD streaming and more graphically rich content (like in gaming) thanks to the faster read/write performance​.

UFS Automotive benefits

UFS ​flash storage ​enhances in-vehicle infotainment systems and instrument clusters in connected vehicles with its many benefits like these:

Superior performance

Enables up to 941 MB/s reads and 651 MB/s writes, which means almost 3X faster reads and more than 2X faster writes than e.MMC interfaces.

Expanded temps

Supports Automotive Electronics Council (AEC)-Q100 Grade 3 (–40°C to 105°C) and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to 95°C) temperature requirements.

High quality and reliability

Complies with AEC-Q100 and Internal Automotive Task Force 16949 standards.

Cost-effectiveness:

Takes advantage of industry-leading 64-layer triple-level-cell 3D NAND with CMOS under array technology.

Client computing benefits​ of UFS

Micron UFS provide excellent performance with low power consumption and an outstanding thermal profile to deliver many benefits to client OEMs and end users:

Extends usable battery life

​UFS storage requires ​70% less power usage during active use and 66% less power usage during sleep mode than other Micron client SSDs.3

Unprecedented PC design flexibility

​​UFS flash storage's ​​d​ime-size footprint allows 88% more PCB area than M.2 to enable more space for other hardware or features.4

Hours of untethered performance

​​The ​​p​ower efficiencies​ of Universal Flash Storage​ mean no thermal throttling due to overheating​,​ for prolonged productivity on the go.
