Final Thoughts on the Acer FA200 Solid State Drive
As we come to the end here we can see that the Acer FA200 is a pretty solid drive overall. It gives us a good idea of what a BIWIN-made solid state drive is all about and how it will perform. As a reminder, BIWIN will be entering the US market under their own name very soon!
In our testing this drive performed right up to its specifications pushing 7109.54 MB/s read and 6137.26 MB/s write in CrystalDiskMark. Scores were very much the same across the board in other tests and really shows how far QLC-based Gen4 solid state drives have come! Initially it would have been hard to recommend one, but now this is an easy buy for the average PC user and even gamers. Now if you are doing any type of longer writes or content creation you are likely going to want to choose a TLC-based drive.
Beyond the solid performance this drive runs very cool and the fact that is is single-sided means that it is going to be great for laptops and even your PS5. You can also pick this drive up in capacities up to 4TB, which is pretty awesome for a single-sided drive.
Right now you can pick up the 4TB version of the FA200 at our favorite online retailer for $219.99, which is a great deal for a 4TB drive with this type of performance! Overall ThinkComputers gives the Acer FA200 Gen4 Solid State Drive a 9 out of 10 score!
Pros:
– Solid performance
– Single-sided
– Runs cool
– Available in capacities up to 4TB

– Not the best for long writes
