Acer Predator GM9000 Gen5 Review
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Introduction
It’s that time of year again when everyone is trying to prise money from your wallet. Currently we’ve all been enduring the Steam sale and attempting not to make our backlog even bigger. Why is it we seek new games all the time? We’ve got identical things in our library just waiting to be played. But no, this new one might be better. Let’s grab it now before it.. oh digital stuff doesn’t sell out. Before it.. isn’t giving us the endorphins of a new purchase. Yes, that’ll be it. Mmm lovely. Zero hours played. Just what we paid for.
Anyway, the Steam Summer Sale also means it’s Amazon Prime Days. The perfect time of year to buy an electric toothbrush. Perhaps a new desk fan for those three days a year the UK gets warm enough to need one. Or maybe, and whisper this so others don’t know, behind the patio furniture and mugs there are some hardware bargains to be found.
This is the perfect opportunity for us to check out the new Predator GM9000. A Gen5 NVMe drive available in three sizes. Why the perfect opportunity you ask? Because we have an affiliate link of course. Not only do you get to easily spot the price reduction – and by the end you’ll want one immediately – but you get to send me a few quid. What more can you want? We all win.
Speaking of winners, the Predator GM9000 is blisteringly quick. One of the things we love about modern specification tables is their accuracy. The days when companies made outlandish claims are behind us. Now if they say it’s 13000MB/s sequential write, it pretty much will be. That’s why we’re here. Let’s find out how fast it really is.

As always M.2s, particularly ones without heatsinks like this, don’t make for the most interesting things to look at. But that’s okay. It’s like your power supply or the back of your monitor. Aesthetics are very far down the list.
