CONCLUSION

    The MA200 1TB SSD by Acer is the 3^rd M.2 2230 model to have arrived in the lab and well, it more or less trades blows with the other two (overall however, the UD90 by Silicon Power comes on top). Yes, the MA200 may not be the fastest of the three (or in general) but speed is just as important as capacity when it comes to gaming handhelds and simply put 1TB may not be nearly enough to cover the needs of some people.  Endurance levels are very good and as for warranty 5 years should be plenty for any SSD.

    Right now, the MA200 1TB M.2 2230 SSD retails for around USD110 (limited availability however) inside the USA and for 93.78Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) and so it’s priced properly. At the end of the day my main concern regarding the MA200 is capacity since I don’t believe that 1TB is quite enough to cover the needs of everyone who owns a gaming handheld out there. Still if 1TB is more than enough for you I strongly suggest giving the MA200 a chance, especially since it comes highly recommended.
