KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, has begun sampling the latest generation of its Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Ver. 4.0 embedded flash memory devices.

Supported in capacities of 256 gigabytes (GB), 512GB and one terabyte (TB), the new products are well suited for a variety of next-generation mobile applications, including leading-edge smartphones.

The enhanced performance of the new UFS products provides optimal utilisation of 5G connectivity, resulting in accelerated downloads, minimised latency, as well as an enhanced user experience.

According to Kioxia in a statement, a smaller package size contributes to board space efficiency and design flexibility.

Key features include read/write speed improvement over previous generation of approximately 15 per cent for sequential write, 50 per cent for random write and 30 per cent for random read, while package size reduction resulting in around 18 per cent compared to conventional package size.

Kioxia was the first to introduce UFS technology, and continues to develop new products with the latest UFS Ver. 4.0 devices integrating the company’s innovative BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and a controller in a JEDEC-standard package.
