Benefits for mobile

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

Performance

Enables much quicker load times for applications and files as well as faster device boot-up compared to e.MMC 5.1.

Multi-tasking responsiveness

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

Camera performance

Enables 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

Enables seamless HD streaming and more graphically rich content (like in gaming) thanks to the faster read/write performance with UFS.

Automotive benefits

UFS 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

Micron UFS storage devices 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

Due to 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

Dime-size footprint allows 88% more PCB area than M.2 to enable more space for other hardware or features.4

Hours of untethered performance

Power efficiencies mean no thermal throttling due to overheating for prolonged productivity on the go.
