TLC and 2GB of DRAM for those who care.
My understanding of these drives:

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.

Ordered 4 16TB HDD from AAAwave and 3 arrived damaged. No doubt was played kickball by UPS, you might think this is a negative review but AAAwave switched from UPS ground to Fedex 2 day ground shipping on hard drives ( I guess this happened alot) and they paid for return shipping for my 3 bad drives and said they will ship out brand new replacements the same day they recieve the RMA drives so I will NOT have to have AAAwave send the drives back to Seagate and wait for Seagate to do an RMA ( This means I will NOT be getting a rerfurbished replacement drive back and the process wont take weeks!) which is great customer service IMO. AAAwave offers great prices, stands behind their products and as a bonus my $900 order for hard drives incurred zero shipping cost and ZERO taxes on that order! I feel confident to place future orders with them!

I had forgotten about them for about a decade until last year, was glad to see they were still in business. Both the GPU I purchased last year and my more recent order of these drives incurred the same lack of sales tax, which is always a pleasant surprise

To the experts- For the purpose of upgrading HP Desktop 256GB C drive - that is dying- How does this compare to Samsung 990 EVO SSD if size is not a consideration (1TB vs 2TB) (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-In...r=1-3&th=1 [amazon.com])
Provided you have an M.2 NVME slot available:

Samsung is generally more reliable, but they've had serious issues with other drives immediately after release, so keep that in mind with this new drive.

The 990 Evo idle power consumption is only slightly lower than the GM7000, so neither would be good for a laptop.

Performance-wise, you probably won't notice a difference between the two in most tasks.

Given all that, the 990 Evo is a DRAMless drive (HMB), so I would lean heavily towards the GM7000 for your OS drive.

Will this fit in a laptop? Does the "customized heat spreader" make it thicker?

Why does the description of the product in this post state "Acronis Clone Software optimized for SSDs". I received the SSD - but there is no acronis software included. I called them and they rightly said that there is no software bundle advertised at their website. What did I miss?

Ahh, bummer. I'm in FL, no idea why it's been working out for me, then. This is the only store in recent memory that I recall seeing it happen
