Acer has installed 232-layer TLC NAND flash on the Predator GM7, the flash chips are made by YMTC. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 170 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 2070 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 770 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent.
