Acer FA300 vs Addlink A93: Comparison
What is the difference between Acer FA300 and Addlink A93?
On sequential read the spread is 33%, Acer FA300 11000 MB/s against Addlink A93 7400 MB/s, so Acer FA300 takes it. Measured rather than claimed: in Speed Score the Acer FA300 returns 8.5 against 7.7, a 9% lead. Acer FA300 also leads on sequential write, 10000 MB/s on the Acer FA300 versus 6500 MB/s on the Addlink A93. They differ on bus interface too, PCIe 5.0 x4 on the Acer FA300 versus PCIe 4.0 x4 on the Addlink A93. On nand layers there is little in it, 218 on the Acer FA300 versus 232 on the Addlink A93. There is a split on controller as well, SM2504XT on the Acer FA300 versus MAP1602A on the Addlink A93. Controller vendor is not the same on both, Silicon Motion on the Acer FA300 versus Maxio on the Addlink A93. Nand vendor is not the same on both, Kioxia on the Acer FA300 versus YMTC on the Addlink A93.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Capacity, nand type, dram cache, form factor and drive type read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
