Rank #5 in Best 4TB SSD for PS5: 10 Ranked, and the Speed Numbers That Don't Add Up
Acer Predator GM7000 4TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Acer Predator GM7000 4TB is a PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe drive with a 4 GB DRAM cache, and it lands at number 5 in this guide at £411.98. Its 4.7 rating comes from 3,143 ratings, and 85 of the 100 ratings shown sit at five stars, against three at one star.
The reason it sits in the guide rather than in its warning column is that its speed numbers hold together. The bullets promise up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,700 MB/s write; the spec table repeats 7400 Megabytes Per Second for Read Speed and again for Data Transfer Rate, and its Media Speed line reads "até 6700 MB/s". That is one figure repeated in three places, not three figures pretending to be one. The single inconsistency in the advert is smaller but worth flagging: the Hard Disk Form Factor field says 2.5 Inches, while the Form Factor field says M2 and the bullets describe a 2280 M.2 drive with a graphene cooling pad, backed by a 5-year product assurance. Everything on this page — price, speeds, ratings, warranty — is taken from the Amazon listing itself, not from any testing we carried out.
How those 3,143 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I got 12tb of these during a sale period. Are rock solid, read/write is accurate and I've not noticed any performance drop on the primary despite high numbers of writes. Like all drives OS-base2 measures it around 3.63 free space. Was also helpful that they came with their own thermal pads too but I don't hammer them enough to stress the Temps and my m.2 slots has some pre applied.”
Verified purchase“Got the Acer Predator 2TB Gen4 NVMe for my new build and honestly there isn't much more I can ask from an SSD. Installation was straightforward, speeds are excellent, Windows and games load ridiculously fast and I've had zero issues with it.It's been sitting hidden underneath the motherboard heatsink since the day I installed it, so I genuinely haven't seen it again 😂 But it does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it very well.Fast, reliable, plenty of storage and great value for a 2TB Gen4 drive. Install it, forget about it and enjoy the speed.”
