The Acer FA200 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on December 19th, 2023. It is available in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Acer FA200 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the MAP1602A Falcon Lite from MaxioTech, a DRAM cache is not available. Acer has installed 232-layer QLC NAND flash on the FA200, the flash chips are made by YMTC. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. The cache is sized at 497 GB. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 149 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The FA200 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,200 MB/s and 6,200 MB/s write; random IO reaches 1000K IOPS for read and 800K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 100 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Acer guarantees an endurance rating of 1000 TBW, a relatively low value compared to other SSDs.
