Apple was originally going to use this same flash before all the political uproar. They will find a use somewhere. Very interested in endurance figures, but as quality was good enough for Apple I would not be concerned buying this. The price is between budget and premium flagships drives. Only place I could find YMTC flash in the past was on aliexpress, will be good to see how they stack up as soon as sanctions are navigated.

Can you find Acer-branded Predator GM7 SSD on aliexpress now? Kind of looking forward to it.

Can find in Malaysia, 2TB version for 600RM on either Shopee, TMT, or castleit.com, on aliexpress can find it for about double the price! GM7 but also has the GM7000 version, all are overpriced. Endurance for GM7 appears to only be 600 cycles (respectable), and GM7000 at 750 cycles (It also shows slightly better speed). As such GM7000 would be the drive I would get now.
