UFS is the new, new thing for removable media. Samsung pre-announced a whole line of UFS memory cards to compete against the top of the line mini-SDXC memory cards. The speeds of UFS are so much faster than existing SDXC it’s very nearly as fast as a hard drive. If we can get fast removable memory like UFS with native SSD hard drive speeds, I would say even Hard drives are on their way out. The interfaces are just too slow.
