Acer FA300 vs Addlink S91: Comparison
Acer FA300 vs Addlink S91: the sequential read difference
Sequential read is where these two genuinely part company, Acer FA300 11000 MB/s against Addlink S91 5000 MB/s, a 55% lead for Acer FA300. Measured rather than claimed: in Speed Score the Acer FA300 returns 8.5 against 6, a 29% lead. Add sequential write to that, 10000 MB/s on the Acer FA300 versus 4000 MB/s on the Addlink S91, and the pattern holds. There is a split on bus interface as well, PCIe 5.0 x4 on the Acer FA300 versus PCIe 4.0 x4 on the Addlink S91. They differ on nand type too, TLC on the Acer FA300 versus QLC on the Addlink S91. There is a split on dram cache as well, DRAM-less on the Acer FA300 versus DRAM-less with HMB on the Addlink S91. They differ on form factor too, M.2 2280 on the Acer FA300 versus M.2 2230 on the Addlink S91. Nand layers runs the same way, 218 on the Acer FA300 versus 176 on the Addlink S91, another win for Acer FA300. Controller is not the same on both, SM2504XT on the Acer FA300 versus Phison E21T on the Addlink S91. There is a split on controller vendor as well, Silicon Motion on the Acer FA300 versus Phison on the Addlink S91.
What Acer FA300 and Addlink S91 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: capacity and drive type are identical here.
