Western digital unveils new mobile applications to match 5G

Published by

Western Digital iNAND has launched an exceptional feature to enhance user experience, with the unveiling of an embedded Universal Flash Storage (UFS) device and a 5G equipped smartphone.

As an early supporter of JEDEC’s implementation of WriteBooster under the UFS 3.1 standard, Western Digital is among the first in the industry to deliver commercial  storage solutions optimised for UFS 3.1 5G applications and capabilities.

The newly-unveiled iNAND MC EU521 has an embedded flash device allowing mobile developers to take full advantage of UFS 3.1 high-interface bandwidth (Gear 4 / 2  Lanes) as well as SLC (single-level cell) NAND caching.

It also offers turbo sequential write speeds up to 800MB/s to better enable  enhanced user experiences for applications such as downloading 4K and 8K media, large file transfers from the cloud, and gaming.

The iNAND EU521 will be available by this month in 128GB and 256GB capacities.

Mr Huibert Verhoeven, the company’s Vice President and General Manager said “Smartphone now demand more performance and capacity as they often serve as the primary computing device for everything from streaming video, playing music, gaming and photography, to payments and mapping.

“The SLC caching in the iNAND EU521 with WriteBooster offers users several key performance improvements, such as the ability to download a 4K movie in 3.6 seconds. This and other capabilities make the EU521 a great option for today’s mobile equipment manufacturers.

Additionally, Mr Craig Stice, Senior Director, memory and storage at Omdia, a global technology research leader, explained that, “Western Digital’s implementation of the new JEDEC storage standard, UFS 3.1, provides 5G applications with added write capability and improved caching will help smartphones deliver higher speed downloads.
