Acer FA100 vs Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB: Comparison
Acer FA100 vs Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB sequential read compared
On sequential read the spread is 76%, Acer FA100 3300 MB/s against Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB 14000 MB/s, so Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB takes it. The benchmark result agrees. Speed Score puts Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB 32% ahead, 9.4 against 6.4. Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB also leads on sequential write, 2700 MB/s on the Acer FA100 versus 10000 MB/s on the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB. There is a split on bus interface as well, PCIe 3.0 x4 on the Acer FA100 versus PCIe NVMe, M.2 on the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB. Dram cache is not the same on both, DRAM-less on the Acer FA100 versus DRAM on the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB.
Which should you buy, Acer FA100 or Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB?
The Acer FA100 suits everyday laptops and desktops with a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot. It is equally the pick for budget upgrades needing 2000 GB of NVMe storage in a standard M.2 2280 slot. Avoid it for anyone wanting PCIe 4.0 speeds, since this drive tops out at 3300 MB/s reads. Take the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB for workstation and enthusiast builds with a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot wanting top sequential speed. It also earns its place with users moving very large files who benefit from 14000 MB/s reads. It is not the one for systems with only PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 slots, which cannot reach the rated speeds.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, capacity, nand type, form factor and drive type included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.
