The Acer SA100 is a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor, launched in 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 240 GB to 1.9 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1.9 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Acer SA100 interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the MAS0902A-B2C from MaxioTech, a DRAM cache is not available. Acer has installed 96-layer QLC NAND flash on the SA100, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. The SA100 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and 508 MB/s write; random IO reaches 76K IOPS for read and 77K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. Acer guarantees an endurance rating of 600 TBW, a relatively low value compared to other SSDs.
