Acer SSD FA100 1TB

FA100 1TB

The new NVMe SSD from Acer faces stiff competition from the SK Hynix P31. Not only can the latter offer faster maximum read and write rates, but it is also able to reach those speeds at smaller block sizes to make it the faster budget SSD overall.

 

Currently, the 1 TB SK Hynix P31 retails for $135 USD on Amazon. Acer will have to launch its competing FA100 for much less if it hopes to attract a sizable userbase.
