Acer FA100 vs Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB: Comparison
Acer FA100 vs Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB: the sequential read difference
The gap that matters here is sequential read: Acer FA100 3300 MB/s against Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB 14000 MB/s, which puts Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB 76% ahead. Speed Score backs the spec sheet up. Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB scores 9.4 to 6.4, 32% clear. Sequential write runs the same way, 2700 MB/s on the Acer FA100 versus 10000 MB/s on the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB, another win for Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB. They differ on bus interface too, PCIe 3.0 x4 on the Acer FA100 versus PCIe NVMe, M.2 on the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB. There is a split on dram cache as well, DRAM-less on the Acer FA100 versus DRAM on the Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB.
Acer FA100 vs Fanxiang S910Pro 2TB: which one fits your build
The Acer FA100 is the one to take for everyday storage use where 3300 MB/s reads are fast enough. It also earns its place with budget laptop or desktop upgrades wanting 2000 GB on a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot. It is not the one for buyers wanting PCIe 4.0 performance, as this drive is limited to 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. The same goes for users moving very large files who benefit from 14000 MB/s reads. It is the wrong buy for systems with only PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 slots, which cannot reach the rated speeds.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Capacity, nand type, form factor and drive type read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
