The Acer Predator GM7000 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2022. It is only available in the 4 TB capacity listed on this page. With the rest of the system, the Acer Predator GM7000 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the IG5236 (Rainier) from InnoGrit, a DRAM cache chip is available. Acer has installed 176-layer TLC NAND flash on the Predator GM7000, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. The cache is sized at 1300 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 2400 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 1450 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The Predator GM7000 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and 6,700 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 1350K for reads and 1150K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 450 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Acer guarantees an endurance rating of 3000 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
