Acer FA300 vs Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD: Comparison
Acer FA300 vs Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD: the sequential read difference
The gap that matters here is sequential read: Acer FA300 11000 MB/s against Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD 14500 MB/s, which puts Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD 24% ahead. The benchmark result agrees. Speed Score puts Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD 13% ahead, 9.8 against 8.5. Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD also leads on sequential write, 10000 MB/s on the Acer FA300 versus 12000 MB/s on the Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD. They differ on dram cache too, DRAM-less on the Acer FA300 versus DRAM on the Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD. Add nand layers to that, 218 on the Acer FA300 versus 276 on the Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD, and the pattern holds. Controller is not the same on both, SM2504XT on the Acer FA300 versus SM2508 on the Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD. They differ on nand vendor too, Kioxia on the Acer FA300 versus Micron on the Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Capacity, bus interface, nand type, form factor and drive type read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 1 further specification as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Controller Vendor the same on the Acer FA300 and Micron 4600 SED 2TB SSD?
It is. Both are listed at Silicon Motion, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
