— the successor to the UFS 3.0 standard, officially introduced in early 2020. The specification was created specifically for high-performance mobile devices and is aimed at increasing operating speed while minimizing power consumption. To this end, UFS 3.1 implements a number of innovations: a non-volatile Write Booster cache to speed up writing; a special DeepSleep power-saving mode for relatively simple and inexpensive systems; as well as the Performance Throttling Notification function, which allows the drive to send signals to the control system about overheating. This standard may also additionally provide support for the HPB extension, which increases the reading speed.
