Samsung Electronics has announced its latest push for high-performance mobile memory storage based on eMMC 5.0 technology, the new 128GB 3-bit NAND-based eMMC 5.0 storage targeting tablet and smartphone markets.

While flagship smartphone have already got to 128GB of on-board storage by using Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 2.0 or Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) 5.1 standards, mid-range smartphone will now be able to increase the storage capacity to 128GB thanks to Samsung's new 3-bit 128GB eMMC 5.0 NAND flash memory.

Providing sequential read performance of up to 260MB/s, which is the same level as the MLC NAND-based eMMC 5.1 memory, the new Samsung 128GB 3-bit eMMC 5.0 memory can also handle 6000 IOPS for random read and 5000 IOPS for random write, which is sufficient to support high definition video and advanced multi-tasking features, according to Samsung. These performance numbers put the new Samsung 128GB 3-bit eMMC 5.0 memory around ten times faster than typical external memory card.

Samsung keeps extending its 3-bit NAND business from SSDs for data centers, servers and PCs to mobile storage market and will continue to broaden its 3-bit NAND flash memory application with higher-performance and higher-density solutions.
