The South Korean tech giant has already begun with the mass production of the 256 GB UFS 2.0 storage. The new memory chips are capable of handling 45,000 input and 40,000 output operations per second when it comes to reading and writing data. In comparison to it, the previous generation UFS storage can support 19,000 input and 14,000 output operations per second.

The Samsung 256 GB UFS 2.0 storage can read speeds up to 850 MB per second. The data transfer is equivalent to the speed offered by SATA SSD drives for desktop PCs. It can deliver writing speeds of up to 260 MB per second. This is not on par with SSD drives for PCs. However, it is significantly better than the writing speeds of currently available microSD cards.

Samsung has explained that the reason behind producing 256 GB UFS 2.0 storage is that it can be used on high-end smartphones that support 4K resolution video playback and recording.
