What is UFS Storage ?
UFS Storage means Universal Flash Storage, provides high-speed data speed transfer and low power consumption storage device chips. It was developed by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC). It is widely used in tablets, smartphones, GPS and e-reader devices
Why it is important?
This storage type is mainly used in smartphones, digital cameras and many electronic devices. It performs high-speed read write tasks. while video recording or video streaming it provides more speed than other storage type.
It provides a higher speed data transfer rate than other storage types and consumes less power to retain data, so mobile devices, cameras etc can perform longer with a high speed data transfer rate.
- High speed performance
- Reliability
- Low power consumption
- Quick read-write tasks
- Scalability
- Security
Which Technology is used?
- NAND flash is used in UFS Storage type. It is responsible for a fast data transfer rate and consumes less power to retain data.
