Read speed:
sequential read speed 14000 MB/s 14700 MB/s
random read speed 2000000 IOPS 1850000 IOPS

In terms of sequential read speed, the Acer Predator GM9000 2TB offers 14000 MB/s, while the Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB (With Heatsink) slightly outpaces it with 14700 MB/s. The difference is not massive but may still be noticeable in tasks that heavily rely on sustained sequential data throughput.

For random read speed, the Acer Predator GM9000 2TB performs at an impressive 2000000 IOPS, surpassing the Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB, which offers 1850000 IOPS. The difference in random read performance could impact workloads that involve frequent small, scattered read operations, with the Acer providing a slight edge.

Overall, both drives are extremely high-performance options, with the Samsung model having a slight advantage in sequential read speed, while the Acer model leads in random read performance.

Write speed:
sequential write speed 13000 MB/s 13400 MB/s
random write speed 1600000 IOPS 2600000 IOPS

When it comes to sequential write speed, the Acer Predator GM9000 2TB offers 13000 MB/s, while the Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB (With Heatsink) slightly outperforms it with 13400 MB/s. This difference in sequential write speeds may be noticeable in high-demand applications that rely on large, continuous data writes.

For random write speed, the Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB shows a significantly higher performance with 2600000 IOPS, compared to the Acer Predator GM9000 2TB’s 1600000 IOPS. This difference indicates that the Samsung model could excel in scenarios involving a large number of small, random write operations.

In summary, while both drives provide impressive write speeds, the Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB generally leads in both sequential and random write performance, with the Acer Predator GM9000 2TB trailing slightly in sequential writes and offering a lower random write speed.
