acerPredator GM7 4TB SSD, M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 2.0, Up to 7400 MB/s, HMB+SLC, Internal PC Solid State Drive for Laptop, Desktop and PS5 - BL.9BWWR.119

I bought this to upgrade the 512GB SSD in my ASUS Zenbook laptop.The difference was stunning. Not only did this Predator SSD quadruple my laptop's storage capacity, but disk transfer rates have doubled. Excellent!Oddly, while my Zenbook supports PCLe Gen 4 NVMe SSD devices, the 512GB SSD actually installed was only PCLe Gen 3.To make a clone, I used the free Ancronis True Image package available with this SSD. It's really easy to use - though you do need a compatible SSD caddy so you can copy the old disk to the new device. This took just ~15 minutes.I studied a couple of YouTube videos for the physical Installation. It's a relatively painless operation assuming you have some mini screwdrivers (Torx in my case) and a small plastic pry-tool. I would strongly recommend using an antistatic mat and wriststrap to protect everything. Also, once the case is open, ensure you disconnect the laptop battery before touching anything.Once complete, I reset the BIOS to ensure the new SSD was recognised and was set as the prime boot device. Then, everything burst into life!I note that the SSD runs at relatively low temperatures. It normally sits at about 44 degC and, even under a high workload, I have not seen it exceed 48 degC. That's very good and probably a testament to the twin fans in this laptop.So, no issues and I am a happy boy 😊Alas, my daughter now wants me to do a similar upgrade to her Lenovo laptop!If you want to upgrade the capacity and speed of your laptop, seriously consider this ACER Predator SSD (having checked the compatibility). Despite being competitively priced, its performance can make it a game changer.BTW, this SSD is actually manufactured by BIWIN who have a reputation for reliable devices with relatively lower power requirements (and reasonably low heat generation)....

Quality of build is excellent. I purchased as additional storage for my laptop (data only not the OS) and installation was simple, it even included the tiny screw (which I didn't need but it's a good inclusion).Value was brill as I got an additional £20 discount via voucher. It's very quick, being able to copy about 20gb in around 6 seconds (CPU & RAM will also have an effect on this).Fits perfectly though there doesn't appear to be a heatsink but this doesn't bother me as my laptop doesn't run hot anyway.It works as expected though time will tell it's longevity. Just initialise the disk in windows, do a quick format and bam, 3.7tb of additional storage!

Installed to an ASUS TUF B550-PLUS in the top M.2. Used Partition Wizard 10 to clone my current OS over (Couldn't be bothered to fresh install)It worked perfectly, drive is healthy and a good temp, good size with 2TB, and getting good speeds when testing on CrystalDiskMark. Can't complain.

Works great with ps5. Super speed and so much more memory now. Good price.

1st class. Very fast. Very good value for money. Runs cool with it's thermal regulator and fitted heatsink. Easy to install. Make sure you order the fitting screw pack for your motherboard which includes 3 studs and 3 bolts as you will need it.

Works great on ps5, easy to install. Great speeds and good quality.

Paid 200 for 4TB m.2 drive and its been great the price is very good at the writing of this review the lower price you can go with higher speeds and gen you can is what you should always try looking for as for the drive its self its works perfectly the speeds are as advertised and works well in side my X870E motherboard with my 9800X3D cpu

This NVME is a great choice in terms of performance, durability, ease of installation etc. It boasts high speeds so is perfect for hardcore gamers and content creators alike.My only complaint is the drive is technically 3.8TB due to pre allocated software space. Which to me is disappointing as 200GB is alot of storage to not have access to. So I believe predator needs to do something about that. I obviously expected there to be some storage lost, but not 200GB.Other than that, it's a great option and is definitely one of the more affordable options on amazon.
