ACER, as of the moment, is perhaps best known for its high quality monitors and laptops. As of the moment, the company is now looking to spread its influence into one of the most important realms of today, the consumer-grade PC storage products. ACER is finally going to be selling its own SSD and RAM with the help of a Chinese company.

According to the story by TechSpot, ACER will reportedly be partnering with a certain Chinese flash storage maker known as Biwin. With this partnership, ACER will finally be able to sell its own branded SSD and RAM cards towards different consumers both in the US as well as in China.

It is important to clarify that ACER will not be the one to produce the upcoming devices. The tech firm's official announcement post actually suggests that it is going to be a joint effort of sorts. The article by TechSpot, however, clarifies that in reality, Biwin will reportedly be the one to handle all of the manufacturing.

ACER's known contribution now seems to solely involve some product branding and even sales. TechSpot notes that it will still be reaching out to the company in order to clarify its specific role in this particular partnership.

As previously noted, Biwin will reportedly produce both the RAM sticks as well as the SSDs which will then be offered in quite a wide range of different sizes, form factors, and even capacity options towards consumers. The article by TechSpot also provides the different expected SSDs.

ACER SSD Specs: SA100

The cheapest SSD will reportedly be an easy entry-level SA100
The entry-level SA100 will start at 2.5" with a 128 capacity going all the way up to 2 TB

This release could reportedly be enough to provide ample performance for most of the users but for real PC enthusiasts, or even those other data hogs, might want to consider a stronger higher-speed FA100.

ACER SSD Specs: FA100

This will be an M.2, PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive that is packed with capabilities of up to 2TB
ACER also promises that it will be packed with read and write speeds reaching up to a massive 3,300 MB/s and even 2,700 MB/s, respectively.

ACER SSD Specs: RE100

The RE100 will come in either the 2.5" or the M.2 SATA form factors.
The RE100 is expected to pack a maximum capacity of either 4TB or 1TB which would depend on the type that buyers would get.
The RE100 read/write speeds will reach all the way up to 560 MB/s as well as 520 MB/s.

When it comes to Biwin's ACER-branded DRAM products, the card will reach some pretty massive heights.
