Samsung has started mass production of Ultra High Speed-1 (UHS-1) microSD cards that support the highest performance levels required on advanced LTE smartphones and tablets. Initially, the company will make 16GB cards, which are comprised of Samsung’s 20 nanometer-class 64 gigabit toggle DDR 2.0 devices and an advanced Samsung controller supporting the ultra fast UHS-1 interface.
Sammy’s own tests indicate a maximum sequential read speed of 80 megabytes per second (MB/s), or more than four times the read speed of today’s advanced microSD cards (about 21MB/s). Initial production of the 16GB UHS-1 microSD cards began late last month… Needless to say, going forward the plan is to make bigger cards to further reinforce Samsung’s position as the “leading market innovator for NAND flash”.
