Samsung introduced 256 GB high-speed memory chips for tablets and smartphones

Soon, the memory on our mobile devices can become very much. Of course, there is always little free space, but manufacturers of mobile chips are working on this. In particular, Samsung has released new high-capacity high-speed memory chips for tablets and smartphones. According to the company, they will be used in next-generation devices.

The new memory is based on the Universal Flash Storage 2.0 standard, and according to Samsung representatives, this allows us to talk about a twofold increase in data transfer speed compared to the SATA SSD. The read speed here is 805 MB / s, writing - up to 260 MB / s.

So far, such chips will be installed only in phones and tablets of the premium segment. And only now the data transfer speed for the memory of mobile devices has reached the data transfer speed via USB 3.0, so that such a communication channel will now be fully occupied. This means that a 5 GB video file can be transferred in about 12 seconds. Not bad, right?



Memory cards, by the way, are also becoming faster. For example, SanDisk has released microSD cards with data transfer rates up to 275 MB / s. This is three times faster than the fastest microSD UHS-I card from the same company.

New cards come in volumes ranging from 64 to 128 GB, and both support Class 10 and UHS Speed ​​Class 3. 275 MB / s is the read speed and the write speed is 100 MB / s.
