Acer Predator GM7000 2 TB (BL.9BWWR.106)
2 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe module. Acer’s 2 TB SKU is double-sided; host-side clearance matters even where the slot accepts a nominal 2280 module. Performance values are manufacturer-rated maxima, not independent test results.
IDENTIFICATION: Verify the complete MPN, regional suffix, serial/date code and firmware from the drive label. Capacity variants, hardware revisions and cooling bundles can differ; the specifications below are for Predator GM7000 2 TB where the cited manufacturer documentation identifies them.
Manufacturer-identified specifications
| Product / MPN | Acer Predator GM7000 2 TB (BL.9BWWR.106); manufacturer code BL.9BWWR.106. |
|---|---|
| Capacity / form factor | 2 TB; M.2 2280 (22 × 80 mm), single module. Confirm sidedness and surrounding component clearance from the exact revision. |
| Interface / lane width | PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe; link speed is host-negotiated and can be lower on older hardware. |
| Protocol / flash | NVMe over PCI Express; manufacturer identifies this product as a client M.2 SSD. Use the exact product document for protocol revision, NAND and any DRAM/HMB details. |
| Rated sequential performance | up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,700 MB/s write. Ratings depend on capacity, firmware, workload and the test conditions published by the manufacturer. |
| Endurance / warranty | Up to 1,300 TBW; five-year limited warranty, per the cited 2 TB specification (verify regional retail package). |
| Model generation / thermal package | 2022 product generation. 2 TB M.2 2280; double-sided board configuration is listed for this capacity. Check package contents for any included low-profile heat spreader. |
Compatibility, installation & service
- Check 2280 length, M-key PCIe/NVMe support, x4 link allocation, and double-sided module clearance against the board or laptop service manual. Confirm whether the retail package includes the optional heat spreader; do not assume a laptop bay has room for a desktop cover. Update firmware only with a recoverable backup and the correct OEM utility.
- Read the motherboard or laptop service manual to check socket keying, supported protocol, PCIe generation/lane count, shared SATA/PCIe lanes, BIOS boot support, standoff position, module sidedness and cover clearance. M.2 is a form factor, not proof that a socket supports NVMe.
- Back up data and retain recovery media and encryption keys before replacement or firmware service. Use only the manufacturer utility/firmware intended for the exact model and capacity; confirm power and system stability during updates.
- Follow the host’s service procedure, shut down and disconnect standby power when instructed, and use electrostatic-discharge precautions. Do not hot-plug a client M.2 SSD unless the platform manual explicitly supports it.
- Monitor SMART health and temperature during sustained transfers. High burst benchmarks do not predict sustained writes, thermals, or service life; keep independent backups regardless of the TBW rating.
