Acer FA100 Review
Acer FA100 (Micron B47R) is a 2000 GB PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSD with an InnoGrit IG5216 controller, 176-layer Micron TLC NAND, and rated speeds of 3300 MB/s read and 2700 MB/s write.
A 2 TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive aimed at capacity-minded upgrades. Rated speeds are 3300 MB/s reads and 2700 MB/s writes, which is plenty for boot drives, apps and general storage. This version uses 176-layer Micron TLC NAND. It has no DRAM cache and leans on the host memory buffer, a limitation under long mixed workloads. The M.2 2280 form factor fits most laptops and desktops that support NVMe over PCIe.
Our verdict
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Best for
- Budget laptop or desktop upgrades wanting 2000 GB on a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot
- Everyday storage use where 3300 MB/s reads are fast enough
Not for
- Buyers wanting PCIe 4.0 performance, as this drive is limited to 3300 MB/s reads
- Heavy sustained writes or mixed loads, given the DRAM-less HMB design
