This is a PCIe 4.0 drive, so don’t expect the fastest speeds on the market. Still, for most applications, PCIe 4.0 offers plenty of speed. Based on testing in our Acer Predator GM7 review, the drive can rival other popular PCIe 4.0 drives like the WD Black SN850X and Samsung 980 Pro. Further, the drive maintained excellent efficiency throughout our testing.Although we’ve seen much lower SSD prices in the past, this is a good deal considering the supply crisis the market is in. This drive is down to pre-shortage prices, which is about as much as we can ask right now. At the current price, the drive is about $0.12 per gigabyte, while most drives are selling for north of $0.15 per gigabyte.

The GM7 uses China-fabbed flash from YMTC, along with a Maxio MAP1602A controller. Although the GM7 is an Acer-branded drive, it's made by Biwin. Given the controller, you shouldn't expect the best performance out of the 2TB model, but that's not surprising considering the class of this drive.
