Acer FA300 vs ADATA Falcon: Comparison
Acer FA300 vs ADATA Falcon: the sequential write difference
The gap that matters here is sequential write: Acer FA300 10000 MB/s against ADATA Falcon 1500 MB/s, which puts Acer FA300 85% ahead. Speed Score backs the spec sheet up. Acer FA300 scores 8.5 to 6.1, 28% clear. Sequential read runs the same way, 11000 MB/s on the Acer FA300 versus 3100 MB/s on the ADATA Falcon, another win for Acer FA300. They differ on bus interface too, PCIe 5.0 x4 on the Acer FA300 versus PCIe 3.0 x4, M.2 2280 on the ADATA Falcon. There is a split on controller as well, SM2504XT on the Acer FA300 versus RTS5762DL on the ADATA Falcon. Nand vendor is not the same on both, Kioxia on the Acer FA300 versus Micron 96-layer TLC on the ADATA Falcon.
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.

Which one should you pick?
Choose Acer FA300 if you want the higher speed score (8.5 vs 6.1), the higher capacity (2000 GB vs 2000 GB) and the higher sequential read (11000 MB/s vs 3100 MB/s).
Choose ADATA Falcon if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
