ADATA Falcon vs Addlink S91: Comparison
ADATA Falcon vs Addlink S91 sequential write compared
The gap that matters here is sequential write: ADATA Falcon 1500 MB/s against Addlink S91 4000 MB/s, which puts Addlink S91 63% ahead. Speed Score backs the spec sheet up. ADATA Falcon scores 6.1 to 6, 2% clear. ADATA Falcon also leads on endurance tbw, 1480 TB on the ADATA Falcon versus 450 TB on the Addlink S91. Addlink S91 also leads on sequential read, 3100 MB/s on the ADATA Falcon versus 5000 MB/s on the Addlink S91. There is a split on bus interface as well, PCIe 3.0 x4, M.2 2280 on the ADATA Falcon versus PCIe 4.0 x4 on the Addlink S91. Nand type is not the same on both, TLC on the ADATA Falcon versus QLC on the Addlink S91. They differ on dram cache too, DRAM-less on the ADATA Falcon versus DRAM-less with HMB on the Addlink S91. There is a split on form factor as well, M.2 2280 on the ADATA Falcon versus M.2 2230 on the Addlink S91. Controller is not the same on both, RTS5762DL on the ADATA Falcon versus Phison E21T on the Addlink S91. Nand vendor is not the same on both, Micron 96-layer TLC on the ADATA Falcon versus Micron on the Addlink S91.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Capacity, drive type and warranty read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
