Aspire R-14 2 models, read/write speed for SSD for 2 models please

IgnuanaRex

Hi, I'm looking at 2 models of the R14.  I feel like I read somewhere that it didn't have the fastest SSD.   I tried chat but wasn't able to immediately get stats on the drive, but was told it was Kingston.    Kingston couldn't find the numbers Acer gave me, but looked up the 2 drives Kingston recommends for this model, a 250g and 500g.    The 256 had read/write in the area of 500, but the 512 had one of those numbers in the 300s.  Kingston told me for this type of SSD performance can decrease with larger drives.   

 

I don't think those were the exact drives because the size didn't match.

 

I also saw a post on this board about the R13 I believe where the SSD write speed was clearly slow before an upgrade, thought that's a different laptop.

 

I wouldn't want to get the 512g if it's slower than the 256g.    I know I could install my own but why even get a laptop with an SSD if I'm going to do that.

 

Can someone from Acer provide me read/write speeds for the SSDs for these 2 models, or does someone from the community have test results?

When I evaluated the R5-471T this is what I got when I tested the SSD:

 

Note: Power Plan= High Performance

         For testing purposes, Windows Defender Active scanning=disabled

 

Note2: I don't work for Acer

 

In my opinion, 1029 is a very respectable score.  I was pleased with the SSD.  It performed well.
