poor guy -- more comments on lighting than on excellent content. Linus, it was an informative video. I had already educated myself about this, but I really appreciate your making these videos. it saves me from having to explain to others. I just send them your video link.
Sir, may I ask how old you are? I'm just curious, as I rarely see as good comments as yours on TH-cam and you also don't see older people in the comments section often.
+TreeSquared3 I'm in my 60s. I worked in IT for nearly 2 decades, have been a geek for 4 decades. now retired but still read extensively. I'm typically asked by people as young as 20-something all the way up to my peers regarding tech purchases, PC & Android issues and apps, and more.

Nope, it should be Techquickie: How to not be Asian by correctly editing a green screen and by maximizing the use of Studio Lighting correctly ....Oh wait, Dennis can't, cause the last video made Linus look Asian Yellow!
It's 2024 and I actually just heard about UFS first time ever on WAN Show. Didn't even know it's already in my not so new anymore phone (Note 9) which still displays its internal storage as "sdcard".
I didn't even know UFS cards existed, I always thought of it as internal storage in phones/tablets/ ultrabooks etc. Never heard of anyone using a UFS card instead of microSD in their Samsung Galaxy S-lineup phones either...
+Bartosz Olszewski yes but different electric contact points so it functions differently ergo the way it would receive and transfer information would be slightly different.
Linus, ever since i first saw you use an ssd and saw how fast it was, i wanted to get ahold of a few for my PCs. I have done that and they are WICKED FAST! Each of my 3 have a different 240gb ssd used only for windows and a few programs. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowlege, and now when i start up my computer, it is only seconds before i get to the logon screen You and your team are my favourite Canadians and you need to keep making videos.

Dual purpose slots would be extremely useful! Very smart of them. Honestly, whenever there is an innovation that makes prior technology incompatible, it takes so much longer for the new innovation to be adopted. It drives me crazy. Here is hoping Samsung can have a full sized SD card slot that would be compatible with UFS cards via adapter.
It's interresting how nobody ever talks about the error rate & reliabillity of small flash storage devices. They often have very few backup sectors and very few error correction built in. And when they fail, unlike HDDs they usually fail completely, and all datas are lost, instant of just a few sectors.
Listening and paying attention, REALLY? REALLY? ( looks at you with the obvious " here's your sign" look) This common sensible mindset is timeless. The year doesn't matter. Move on kid.
Netbooks are still very useful, they are cheap, and some are fairly decent. For example, I have a Lenovo S21e, which I mainly use for recording lectures, and taking notes. In NY, I am less likely to get robbed for a $125 netbook, and with improvements in IPC, the modern bottom of the barrel CPUs, still perform at about the level of the Intel core 2 duo P8400. You won't be editing video, or gaming on one, but if you need something that is cheap, and will handle Microsoft office just fine, then a netbook is decent. Best of all, since they are passively cooled, and and produce very little heat, you can even have them completely closed while at full CPU load inside of a laptop bag, and only hit around 65C CPU temperature, thus I can have adobe audition recording the lecture while I take notes on Microsoft word, have that sync to google drive, and then at the end, start the adaptive noise reduction filter, and have closing the lid not put it into standby.
I was just marveling the other day how nice it is that flash storage has coalesced to a scant few ubiquitous form factors, making those old "12-in-1" readers a thing of the past. Welp, it was nice while it lasted.
They won't have slots period. They seem to think that form takes precedence over function with their "You'll never get into this phone's electronics without breaking it" metal unibodies.
it boggles the mind that you will soon be able to buy such a tiny card that can get relatively close to a desktop SSD, my very first SSD was a Crucial M4 SSD 256gb, the idea that i will be able to buy a UFS card which can get that close to it performance wise is frankly amazing. when UFS becomes mainstream i could honestly see desktop PC's using this as a storage option. now if only battery tech was moving forward at the same rate...
Hey, Linus! I've got an idea for a TechQuickie or Explained. The history of BBSes, Usenet, and forums. I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around the historical significance and how it evolved into today's forums and I'm thinking other people might as well. In addition to introducing it to younger audiences.
It’s 6 years later and I still haven’t found a good video comparing the UFS found in Android phones and NVMe found in desktops, laptops, iPads, and iPhones. Also, there’s still no market for removable UFS cards, 100% of it is still microSD. There aren’t any listings on Amazon for UFS cards. So much for that idea.
It is funny that you have shown iPhones when you said "as in a smartphone". The funny thing about that is iPhones never had expanable storage. It is a miracle that narcissistic Apple allowed the SIM slots. I guess they had to or they would be just another iPod touch which is very similar to iPhones.
The first time I watched Linus's videos I couldn't stand his high-pitch voice and the way he acted, now he belongs to my favourite youtubers for the reasons I mentioned lol
Can you remake this video it has been 3 years and not one person is talking about this and if it will actually work and samsung has it for sale on their website.
The main reason developers don't run apps of off memory cards is because every single time you plug in a usb cable in your phone to your pc the card is unmounted from your phone, but what you said is also true.
The moment he ventured into science and mathematics, because that is something white people are incapable of and unable to achieve anything in those fields without stealing it.
Different electrical interfaces in about the same socket format, good to know...and disorienting when the card said U1...U3 in the first place. Is it the filesystem too as it seems? Can't wait to lose host PC's need to ever fail back to exFAT etc. I mean, there's something to be said for having an UFS compatible card reader as well as the SDHC at this point, ne?
So, it is the same size as microSD, will fit in microSD slot but won't work, requiring a new system with a new slot. That is gonna cause lots of problems and lots of "it doesn't work" returns. You really didn't think this through, Samsung.
FireAce Demen Think you're missing the point here chap. The video is about UFS memory and it's very much worth noting that most new phones come with UFS built in.
need to make a mechanical 2.5 inch drive with a SATA expander on it and 2 of these UFS cards in it, so that on most modern laptops,even though you cant have 2 physical drives, unles you remove the optical drive, you can still have a boot SSD and the storage of a mechanical hard dirve
sort of like the WD black ^2 but instead of 2 physical drives that make up a single expanded drive with partitions seperating the SSD from RPM, it would show as 2 or more physical drives
I don't know if the power efficiency matters that much. When taking selfies and video, I'm pretty sure the screen and camera take waaaaaay more power than a flash-based IO device.
Despite having constant lighting and the same camera set up, you'd think they would create a colour correction preset................. same with the audio, it's all over the place!
Make a video about TPM. (Trusted Platform Module) I would like to see some practical examples, like what software would benefit from it, how it would improve security, is it worth getting one? ($10 - $20)
I wonder what would happen if you got these ufs cards, and crammed lots of them into an SSD sized box, and then set them up as a RAID (can't remember which number) and then added a bunch of sata connection ports to the side of the box, would we have our 20TB storage and extremely fast R/W speeds?
first USB gets changes with type c, now the most accepted storage medium is being replaced? I wish they would have made it the same dimensions as micro SD so that itll fit in sdcard adapters and your existing electronics.... should take about 10years until it takes over like micro USB type B vs mini b and micro SD vs whatever that other standard was...
They are the same fit, but it's another tech altogether. They are not compatible and it would be stupid to do soo. If you ask me why? the answer is performance and you reduce the cost of developing a controller that accept both. Samsung decided to do that with the note 7, i but that cost a lot.
joker102 im aware of that however they could have played the pins out and made them compatible with existing slots instead of doing what Samsung is doing, I know this would cause confusion with which card is which but a small print could solve that
Mansen I'm aware if that, there's completely different requirements for the contact pins, I just wish more development was done on micro SD to minimise the bottleneck of the micro SD standard and to keep backwards compatibility with existing devices. However that's more of a dream as I know that's not exactly possible using the current specifications of micro SD
+Luke Nallen new standards develop because the bottleneck is realized to be inherent within the old standard itself. Remember when IDE was replaced by SATA?

@@kylo3130 he's talking about a ufs card slot not internal storage
@@royolaniye6643 i'am referring my comment to S K and not to the first commenter just read the name!
@@kylo3130 Yeah I know that, the second guy said the only phone he knows with a ufs card support is Huawei
Please make a video about built-in UFS memory for smartphones
Dennis, you should know that Linus is not from china, he shouldn't be yellow.
Regards.
This made me laugh way too hard xd
My thoughts exactly!
still better than luke being green in some videos 😂
I miss home :(
no
The top edge of the ufs cards remind me of shark fins for some reason
same. and pins are like.. I dunno, some sci-fi weapon-ish stuff. But wait, is UFS just like Micro SD but with more fin-ish design?
+Bartosz Olszewski yes but different electric contact points so it functions differently ergo the way it would receive and transfer information would be slightly different.
im glad im not the only one
For some reason? I think the reason is pretty obvious.
yeah I thought that was maybe because they look like shark fins, but that was just a guess.
UFS 4.0 is game changer and it beat apple iPhone storage technology.
Last time i was this early csgo gambling was a thing
A lot of sites are still open, keep it on the DL tho
yep
but how are the scummy disgusting perpetrators of csgo rigging who were outted on you tube still not locked up?
"Universal"
Not supported by anything
I find this funny
THIS VIDEO NOT QUICK ENOUGH
huh, there's a new standard for sd cards... 7 years ago and I've never heard of it
Why no mention of internal UFS in smartphones?
8 years on, still nothing.
Linus, ever since i first saw you use an ssd and saw how fast it was, i wanted to get ahold of a few for my PCs.
I have done that and they are WICKED FAST! Each of my 3 have a different 240gb ssd used only for windows and a few programs.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowlege, and now when i start up my computer, it is only seconds before i get to the logon screen

Dual purpose slots would be extremely useful! Very smart of them. Honestly, whenever there is an innovation that makes prior technology incompatible, it takes so much longer for the new innovation to be adopted. It drives me crazy. Here is hoping Samsung can have a full sized SD card slot that would be compatible with UFS cards via adapter.
It's interresting how nobody ever talks about the error rate & reliabillity of small flash storage devices. They often have very few backup sectors and very few error correction built in. And when they fail, unlike HDDs they usually fail completely, and all datas are lost, instant of just a few sectors.
I love you man. no one can be more energized than you.
I'm from 2019 and this seems to be a trend nowadays. Instead of EMMC storage.
Wow that transition to Lynda ... :D
Every episode different color. This week Linus is GOLD!
linustechtips written on the shirt in gold makes linus' skin gold.
techquickie is on a roll with videos
& now my phone with UFS 3.1 @1,6gbps😂
how crazy the technology growing so fast
Me too lol with Nvme on iPhone... UFS 3.1 on android 😁

Great video guys,as usual.Could you do some videos on automotive tech?
That mad MS Paint skills for UFS image :D
just ordered a new UHS-I 64GB microSD card from Samsung yesterday... and today BAM! UFS video :D
UFS cards only work with UFS compatible phones yet, which the list is only none yet
The Note 7 will be the first phone I believe
Yay for including an image with Cabrillo College (amphitheatre) in the background!
I really dont give a flying fuck about any of this technology mumbojambo, but the way this dude explains things is just hypnotising.
Can't wait to see this in the near future.
I was just marveling the other day how nice it is that flash storage has coalesced to a scant few ubiquitous form factors, making those old "12-in-1" readers a thing of the past.
Welp, it was nice while it lasted.
iPhone users can forget this!...
iphone 6s using pcie bga much faster than ufs
+nice_q8t neither interchangeable nor replaceable by the end user
Not without a $20k piece of hardware and a custom-compiled iOS version anyways...
+lFallout - I'd rather have faster, more reliable storage than UFS cards.
+Dan Cho isn't that what UFS is supposed to be?
Almost 5 years on and they have removed the slot altogether looool
I'd like to see an episode of wattage, amperage, and voltage explained PLEASE. :D
in the most simple way possible
Voltage * Amperage = Wattage....
@techquickie i usually go to your channel for informational videos like this one. But i'm surprised you don't have anything for emmc specifically.
the color grading in your videos is hilarious.
Faster IOPS, Sequential read and battery friendly. UFS the way to go
Linus is golden,
Literally.
The legend of The Golden Linus.
Lynda is aimed more towards technological fields. Would be nice to see it advance beyond that into mechanical fields.
I just ordered a memory card ... I did the research already ... I don't need your video now!
Maybe video on LinusTechTips doing comparision on battery drain with and without sd card ?
Interesting idea... Maybe comparing them in other ways...
That'd be nice
What? This video is 7 years old? Oh boy. I'm getting old. Didn't know about UFS until today.
Thanks for explanation again, like to hear more, again thanks
Why the hell are you showing pics of iPhones? They'll never have such slots.
Apple wants the premiums for larger storage options...
They won't have slots period. They seem to think that form takes precedence over function with their "You'll never get into this phone's electronics without breaking it" metal unibodies.
Frost Chain that's alot of Android phones too nowadays
This didn't age well.

When I saw UFS my first thought was UNIX Filesystem
It’s 6 years later and I still haven’t found a good video comparing the UFS found in Android phones and NVMe found in desktops, laptops, iPads, and iPhones. Also, there’s still no market for removable UFS cards, 100% of it is still microSD. There aren’t any listings on Amazon for UFS cards. So much for that idea.
This is exciting. I am kind of tired of my old and slow Samsung 64GB Micro SD cards. Nice to hear that new Samsung devices will be making the switch.
Just FYI, the graphic at 1:27 does not depict a UHS-II card. There are extra pins for that bus class.
It is funny that you have shown iPhones when you said "as in a smartphone". The funny thing about that is iPhones never had expanable storage. It is a miracle that narcissistic Apple allowed the SIM slots. I guess they had to or they would be just another iPod touch which is very similar to iPhones.
They'll get rid of the sim card slot soon due to eSIM.
1:27 One Direction... 312 Mbps just for One Direction related stuff, others only at 156 Mbps...
Well done Chandler
Why didn't you try getting like 10 UFS cards with capasity of 256gb in a hub? Is it better than HDD? Or even SSD?
Aleksej Jovanović 4 of them in raid
The first time I watched Linus's videos I couldn't stand his high-pitch voice and the way he acted, now he belongs to my favourite youtubers for the reasons I mentioned lol

Linus do another video on UFS 3.0!!!!
could u do an episode about usb type c? u knw the different generation and what the advantages to having the latest generation.
When did Linus become an Asian?

These UFS cards are unicorns, you'd be hard pressed to see a recent video on them
Yeah more techquickie THANKSSSSSS!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀✌️✌✌✌✌✌
Its almost 2018 and just found out ufs is a new type of memory card
Well, Linus said that upcomming smartphones will use UFS - but doesn't my OnePlus3 already use UFS 2.0 Storage? Or am i getting something wrong here?
Samsung is using UFS since the S6, but it still has no device which support UFS-Cards.
It _might_ have UFS _internal_ storage
The oneplus 3 doesn't use external storage I think
po huing yes, no SD-Card support.
My Mi5 is already using UFS 2.0
Is this episode sponsored by the Simpsons? Yellow Linus ftw!
Different electrical interfaces in about the same socket format, good to know...and disorienting when the card said U1...U3 in the first place. Is it the filesystem too as it seems? Can't wait to lose host PC's need to ever fail back to exFAT etc. I mean, there's something to be said for having an UFS compatible card reader as well as the SDHC at this point, ne?
so no disadvantages? whats the catch?
maak it will be more expensive than microsd cards
I thought computer guys weren't supposed to be cute. Thanks for breaking down barriers
So, it is the same size as microSD, will fit in microSD slot but won't work, requiring a new system with a new slot. That is gonna cause lots of problems and lots of "it doesn't work" returns. You really didn't think this through, Samsung.
This would make the Microsoft Surface microSD slot more desirable, if a future version would have UFS.
What about the write endurance?
You didn't mention that a lot of flagship phones have UFS memory built in?
why should he? do you also want to know who make them? it's called "as fast as possible"
FireAce Demen Think you're missing the point here chap. The video is about UFS memory and it's very much worth noting that most new phones come with UFS built in.
Whether or not they already use UFS internally is completely irrelevant.
Mansen It just isn't irrelevant. The video is about UFS memory, a standard used as internal memory too.
"Speaking of things that couldn't be worse... Lynda.com!"
TH-cam just alerted me that you uploaded this 1 hour ago. It was uploaded 6 months ago, hello?
need to make a mechanical 2.5 inch drive with a SATA expander on it and 2 of these UFS cards in it, so that on most modern laptops,even though you cant have 2 physical drives, unles you remove the optical drive, you can still have a boot SSD and the storage of a mechanical hard dirve
sort of like the WD black ^2 but instead of 2 physical drives that make up a single expanded drive with partitions seperating the SSD from RPM, it would show as 2 or more physical drives
what happened to the color balance of this video? also the lighting is subpar compared to older videos
I would be more than happy with a computer that uses a micro SD card as a hard drive. Small, a bit less expensive, and reliable
I don't know if the power efficiency matters that much. When taking selfies and video, I'm pretty sure the screen and camera take waaaaaay more power than a flash-based IO device.
Despite having constant lighting and the same camera set up, you'd think they would create a colour correction preset................. same with the audio, it's all over the place!
Just like SATA Express, UFS cards are already dead.
I still have an sd card with 500mb
that was huge back in the day...
Is the UFS outline at 1:37 hand-traced?
One thing is the device processor, and another is the UFS/Micro SD port. How well are they gonna cope up to utilise the UFS speed to its fullness?
Linus went from Yellow to red/orangeish now I get it.
Thanks for the great info
Make a video about TPM. (Trusted Platform Module)
I would like to see some practical examples, like what software would benefit from it, how it would improve security, is it worth getting one? ($10 - $20)
Love that T-shirt!!!
I wonder what would happen if you got these ufs cards, and crammed lots of them into an SSD sized box, and then set them up as a RAID (can't remember which number) and then added a bunch of sata connection ports to the side of the box, would we have our 20TB storage and extremely fast R/W speeds?
first USB gets changes with type c, now the most accepted storage medium is being replaced? I wish they would have made it the same dimensions as micro SD so that itll fit in sdcard adapters and your existing electronics.... should take about 10years until it takes over like micro USB type B vs mini b and micro SD vs whatever that other standard was...
They are the same fit, but it's another tech altogether. They are not compatible and it would be stupid to do soo.
If you ask me why? the answer is performance and you reduce the cost of developing a controller that accept both.
Samsung decided to do that with the note 7, i but that cost a lot.
joker102 im aware of that however they could have played the pins out and made them compatible with existing slots instead of doing what Samsung is doing, I know this would cause confusion with which card is which but a small print could solve that
