In order to reap the connectivity benefits of 5G – namely, faster downloads and reduced lag time - next-gen mobile devices need two things: high performance and low power consumption.
Our new Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Ver. 3.1 embedded flash memory devices were designed with these needs in mind. The new lineup utilizes KIOXIA’s cutting-edge BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory and is supported in four capacities: 128 gigabytes (GB), 256GB, 512GB, and 1 terabyte[1] (TB).
We were proud to be the first company to introduce UFS in 2013 and the first to offer UFS Ver. 3.0 last year. Now, we’re leveling up, delivering maximized performance for 5G applications. View the announcement here to get all of the details: https://bit.ly/2vEbMd8
In addition to mobile devices, UFS is also hard at work in next-gen automotive systems – where it allows entirely new applications and capabilities to take advantage of 5G, IoT and artificial intelligence. Read more: https://bit.ly/2wihkKJ

[1] In every mention of a KIOXIA product: Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications. The definition of 1KB = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes. The definition of 1Gb = 2^30 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits. The definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes. 1Tb = 2^40 bits = 1,099,511,627,776 bits.
