Samsung unveils 1TB embedded universal flash storage
The 1TB eUFS is made of a stack of 16 individual 512Gbit vertical NAND flash die (3D-NAND) plus a freshly developed controller IC in package measuring 11.5mm by 13.0mm.
This will allow future smartphone users to enjoy hundreds of 10-minute videos in 4K UHD format – 3840 pixels by 2160 pixels.
The 1TB eUFS also has enhanced data transfer rate. At up to 1,000 megabytes per second (MB/s), it features approximately twice the sequential read speed of a typical 2.5-inch SATA solid state drive (SSD).
Samsung said it plans to expand the production of 512Gbit V-NAND chips at its Pyeongtaek plant in Korea in 1H19 to address anticipated strong demand for the 1TB eUFS from mobile device manufacturers around the world.
