Acer FA300 vs ADATA Ultimate SU800: Comparison
Acer FA300 vs ADATA Ultimate SU800: the sequential read difference
The gap that matters here is sequential read: Acer FA300 11000 MB/s against ADATA Ultimate SU800 560 MB/s, which puts Acer FA300 95% ahead. Measured rather than claimed: in Speed Score the Acer FA300 returns 8.5 against 3.7, a 56% lead.
