Universal Flash Storage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a proposed common flash storage specification for digital cameras, mobile phones and consumer electronic devices.[1] This could bring higher data transfer speed and increased reliability in flash memory storage, thus reducing market confusion and the varying number of adapters for different number of cards.[2]

The proposed specification is supported by leading firms in the consumer electronics industry such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Texas Instruments, ST Microelectronics, Samsung and Micron.[3]

The standard is currently being constructed by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association. The standard is expected to be finalized in 2009.[4]
