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, STMicroelectronics, Samsung and Micron.[3] The electrical interface for UFS uses the M-PHY.[4], developed by the MIPI Alliance.[5] organization. This offers the possibility of higher speed, ease of integration into embedded applications, and lower power capacity compared to SD cards.[6]
The standard is currently being constructed by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association.[7] The standard has been finalized.[8]
