While the GM7000 shares a controller that has had severe issues causing data loss and failures with other manufacturers, Acer has not had those issues. The issues were corrected with a firmware update, suggesting Acer's firmware corrected the issue before it was released.
While the drive is generally just as fast as many other drives in it's category, it has high idle power consumption and is not recommended for laptops.
You will likely need a better heatsink than the adhesive-backed one they include, and you will need to carefully peel off said heatsink to install the new heatsink. It will throttle during moderate to heavy usage otherwise.
It works well in the PS5 with a better heatsink.
It does have a slightly higher than average failure rate compared to more popular drives, and the RMA process can be frustrating.
Overall it's a great drive with minor issues.

Or is it recommended to just wait until the memorial day sales come along in a few weeks?

I would have got this also if it was this price before.
At the time I went with SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 but not now at $175.
This is a good deal.
