Toshiba ships first NAND flash chips with faster transfer standard

Toshiba has started shipping the first NAND flash chips to support Universal Flash Storage, a new standard that is 50 percent faster than current technology.

The company said Friday that it began shipping samples in January of a 64GB chip that supports the UFS standard, allowing transfer speeds of up to 300MB per second. The latest version of the current eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) standard supports speeds of up to 200MB per second.
