Samsung 256GB UFS: Samsung has introduced a Universal Flash Storage (UFS) card that boasts a read speed five times faster than a conventional MicroSD card.
The Samsung 256GB UFS card is the best on the external memory market right now and with a read speed of 530MBps it is equivalent to 2.5-inch solid-state drives (SSDs), according to the company's statements.
The company says the card can read a Full HD video (5GB) in 10 seconds, making it ideal for those working with 3D virtual reality (VR) video on cameras, action cams, DSLRs, and drones.
The write speed is 170MBps, twice that of conventional microSD cards, allowing a DSLR camera to save 24 images (about 1,120MB) in 6 seconds. To save the same data to older cards, the same camera needed 32 seconds.
Therefore, the launch of the 256GB UFS card as internal memory is aimed at smartphones. The project was first announced in February and started with a 128GB UFS card in January last year.
The card also comes in 128GB, 64MB, and 32GB models which will be released later.
