With the recent advent of UFS 3.0 in smartphones we set about to find out how a Fire TV Storage would fare when pitted against some of the old devices we have.


We ran the test int the using default values for all fields in settings menu and got the following results.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Amazon Fire TV (non 4k) (2nd Gen) Motorola Droid Turbo
Sequential Read (MB/s) 133.664 127.6 192.98
Sequential Write (MB/s) 42.58 28.29 47.09
Random Read (MB/s) 13.56 22.41 14.34
Random Write (MB/s) 3.29 2.72 5.68
SQLite Insert (Queries per second) 249.04 281.39 374.18
SQLite Update (Queries per second) 335.13 302.58 480.4
SQLite Delete (Queries per second) 387.29 367.05 559.66

Analyzing the result, the overall performance of the device quite satisfactory considering the price of Rs. 3500 ( $50).
We currently only own a Fire TV stick 2nd generation (non 4K) with us; when we get our hands on other TV boxes and sticks we shall post results of the same as separate posts. Since we estimate the Fire TV's main components to be storage, processor and RAM unlike smartphone which has to account for costs of Battery, Display, Camera, Various sensors etc.
We would like to see amazon provide a better UFS standard storage medium on their Future iterations of the Fire TV.

That's all for now!
