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.

Dumb question, but is the customized heat spreader a replacement for the heat sink? I won't need a heat sink when using this for the ps5 right?

A buddy recently upgraded to a new build, so I got to inherit his old one he built back in 2019. I just need to provide a boot drive and was wondering if this would make a decent one, even though the motherboard (ASRock x470 Taichi) only supports gen 3?
Or is it recommended to just wait until the memorial day sales come along in a few weeks?

I think this one would be good, a gen 3 x4 slot is capped around 3500MBs, and you could partition it out so that the Windows install is like 500-1tb and the rest is game storage, so that if you wanted to wipe and reinstall windows or switch to Linux down the road you wouldn't have to nuke the whole drive.

NO. Can you show an example of any current problems?

You linked to nothing. No creditable current problems by any review sites.

I have the 4tb as my game and storage drive. No issues with it at all.
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.

Thanks for information. Strange though, Acer website doesn't have its SSD specs, only third part techpowerup has specs sheet.
yeah manufactures are more likely to give you the brochure on the product, putting big numbers in big fonts, and having great graphics showing you how cooling works and stuff like that. You may be able to find the specs, but you definitely will have to dig around.
