Acer FA300 vs ADATA Ultimate SU900: Comparison
Acer FA300 vs ADATA Ultimate SU900 sequential read compared
The gap that matters here is sequential read: Acer FA300 11000 MB/s against ADATA Ultimate SU900 560 MB/s, which puts Acer FA300 95% ahead. Measured rather than claimed: in Speed Score the Acer FA300 returns 8.5 against 5.1, a 40% lead. Add sequential write to that, 10000 MB/s on the Acer FA300 versus 525 MB/s on the ADATA Ultimate SU900, and the pattern holds. They differ on bus interface too, PCIe 5.0 x4 on the Acer FA300 versus SATA 6 Gbps, 2.5" on the ADATA Ultimate SU900. There is a split on nand type as well, TLC on the Acer FA300 versus MLC on the ADATA Ultimate SU900. Dram cache is not the same on both, DRAM-less on the Acer FA300 versus 2048 MB on the ADATA Ultimate SU900. They differ on form factor too, M.2 2280 on the Acer FA300 versus 2.5-inch on the ADATA Ultimate SU900. There is a split on controller as well, SM2504XT on the Acer FA300 versus SM2258H on the ADATA Ultimate SU900. Nand vendor is not the same on both, Kioxia on the Acer FA300 versus Micron 32-layer MLC on the ADATA Ultimate SU900.
Where the two are identical
