Samsung's Fastest Phone Memory Ever Goes Into Production at 512GB (cnet.com)

Samsung today said it's started mass producing 512GB mobile-focused flash memory with over twice the read speed and 1.5 times the write speed of the previous leader, the 1TB module announced last month at CES. From a report: The V-NAND (PDF) memory is based on its embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) 3.0 spec -- the 1TB is eUFS 2.1. Samsung says the 512GB memory can hit read speeds up to 2,100 megabytes per second compared with 1,000MB/sec of the 1TB flash; sequential write can hit 410MB/sec versus 260MB/sec. The eUFS 3.0 1TB memory is slated to arrive in the second half of 2019.

They don't deserve to use the UFS acronym by Seven+Spirals · 2019-02-27 07:45 · Score: 1, Flamebait

It stands for Unix File System, it doesn't stand for "Cheap shitty phone-related stupid-shit". Unless it comes per-initialized with UFS, then Samsung, here's a big middle finger for putting more noise and chaos into google searches. Yes, I saw the lower-case "e" in there two. Learn how to create an acronym rather than how to copy Steve Jobs (and even he would know better than to use "UFS").
