The industry's only provider of 5th generation V-NAND-based memory
1TB released for the first time in four years since 128GB in 2015

Smartphone storage capacity increases to laptop level.

Samsung Electronics is opening the world's first terabyte (TB) mobile memory (embedded Universal Flash Storage, eUFS) market.
Samsung Electronics announced on the 30th that it will be the only company in the industry to mass-produce 1TB eUFS 2.1 starting this month.

Samsung Electronics created the UFS market by mass-producing the '128GB (gigabyte) eUFS 2.0' for mobile devices in January 2015, and then announced the '256GB eUFS 2.0' in February 2016 and the '512GB eUFS 2.1' in November 2017, doubling the storage capacity in just one year and ushering in the terabyte era.

This product allows consumers to enjoy premium laptop-level storage capacity without having to add an external memory card to their smartphone.

The 1TB eUFS is equipped with 16 layers of the industry's fastest 5th generation 512Gb (gigabit) V-NAND and a high-performance controller, achieving twice the capacity of existing products in the same size.

1TB is UHD (3840x216) on flagship smartphones0) It is a large-capacity memory that can store 260 videos shot in 10 minutes in setting mode.

In terms of speed, it is faster than SATA SSD, microSD, and even the existing 512GB product.

The random read/write speed of 1TB eUFS is 58,000·50,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), which is up to 38% faster than the existing 512GB eUFS.

The sequential read speed is about twice as fast as SATA SSD, at 1000 megabytes per second (MB/s).

It is more than 10 times faster than the microSD card that consumers mainly use to expand smartphone storage. It only takes about 5 seconds to transfer a 5GB FHD video stored on a smartphone to an NVMe SSD.

Additionally, the random write speed is 500 times faster than that of a microSD card (100 IOPS), allowing for faster and smoother processing of complex tasks using large data.

Representative features include the ability to continuously shoot high-resolution super slow-motion images at 960 frames per second using a multi-camera.

“1TB eUFS is a differentiated memory solution that delivers premium notebook-level user convenience in next-generation mobile devices,” said Choi Cheol, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Marketing at Samsung Electronics’ Memory Business. “By establishing a stable supply system for 1TB eUFS, we will enable global mobile companies to launch next-generation models in a timely manner, thereby contributing to the continued growth of the mobile market.”

Samsung Electronics plans to mass-produce 5th generation V-NAND at its Pyeongtaek line, which is fully operational in the first half of 2019, while rapidly increasing the production proportion of 512Gb V-NAND to actively respond to the growing demand for ultra-high-capacity memory exceeding 1TB in the eUFS and SSD markets.
