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.

I own the 1TB version of this with the same controller and it's been perfect since March 2023. This does run hot if the ambient temp is high. Mine can get in the 50's under constant use, but you really need to keep it under 70C max.

And I also attached a picture. FYI to others, nothing about the GM7000 has changed in over a year. This is not a product where Acer is changing the components to cut costs.
The only downsides are the heat and the fact that it's claimed you can't remove the graphene pad because it will void your warranty - the serial information is on that pad. I didn't remove the pad for my application.

Test for heat before you go to Bangcock as it may get too hot and need a better heatsink and/or enclosure (some enclosures include a heatsink).
EDIT:
**Some external Thunderbolt drives do support HMB drives for Macs, but they are pricey.
