Samsung V-NAND Memory Technology
Samsung’s revolutionary V-NAND technology uses an innovative design that stacks layers of cells on top of one another rather than trying to decrease the cells' length and width to fit into today's smaller form factors. This V-NAND architecture results in higher density using a smaller footprint to eliminate pattern limitations and achieves a much greater scalable capacity to meet current and [...]

UAS depends on the USB protocol, and uses the standard SCSI command set. Use of UAS generally provides faster transfers compared to the older USB Mass Storage Bulk-Only Transport (BOT) drivers. You want UASP enabled on [...]
