Acer Predator GM7000 1TB NVMe SSD – PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 2280, Up to 7,400MB/s, DRAM Cache

Flagship-class Gen4 read speed with a DRAM cache, at a gamer-friendly price.

The Acer Predator GM7000 1TB is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD for gaming PCs and the PS5. It pairs an InnoGrit IG5236 controller with DDR4 DRAM cache and 176-layer TLC NAND, delivering sequential reads of up to 7,400MB/s for fast game loading, quick boots and large file transfers.

Why DRAM and TLC Matter in a Gaming SSD

Many affordable Gen4 drives cut costs by dropping the DRAM cache or using QLC NAND. They look fast in short benchmarks but can stutter during big installs, large file copies or heavy multitasking.

The GM7000 keeps a DDR4 DRAM cache and TLC NAND, so mapping tables stay in fast memory and sustained writes hold up better. The result is a drive that feels quick not only in loading screens but throughout everyday use.

Gen4 Speed for Gaming

With up to 7,400MB/s reads, the GM7000 cuts load times in modern games and works well with DirectStorage titles. It also runs at Gen3 speeds in older PCIe 3.0 systems.

Consistent, Reliable Performance

The InnoGrit IG5236 controller and DRAM cache keep random performance high under load. A motherboard M.2 heatsink helps the drive hold peak speeds during long transfers.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the Acer Predator GM7000 1TB

1. Shut down and unplug the PC or PS5, and ground yourself.
2. Locate an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 slot; for PS5, fit a compatible heatsink first.
3. Insert the SSD, press it flat and secure it with the screw.
4. Initialize the drive in Disk Management or format it from the PS5 prompt.
