4.0 Vs Nvme — Ufs

This is why your phone doesn’t have an NVMe drive inside it.

| Feature | NVMe (PCIe 4.0 x4) | UFS 4.0 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Laptops, Desktops, Servers | Smartphones, Tablets, IoT | | Max Sequential Read | ~7,500 MB/s (Consumer) | ~4,200 MB/s | | Max Sequential Write | ~6,900 MB/s (Consumer) | ~2,800 MB/s | | Command Queues | Up to 64K Queues | Up to 8 Hardware Queues | | Power Consumption | Moderate to High | Low (Optimized for Battery) | | Form Factor | M.2 Stick / Soldered | Tiny BGA Package | For a mobile device, is paramount

UFS 4.0 wins by knockout. You cannot fit a standard NVMe heat-spreader and stick inside a smartphone chassis, nor would you want the battery drain. UFS allows for high speeds without sacrificing the phone's slim profile or all-day battery life.

: Offers sequential read speeds up to 4,200 MB/s and write speeds up to 2,800 MB/s. It is roughly twice as fast as UFS 3.1.
