This year's 12th generation Core not only in the processor performance soared, motherboard expansion ability is squeezed toothpaste, the past support pcIe 4.0 motherboard only standard with an M.2 interface to support ultra-high-speed PCIe 4.0 rate, now with the 12th generation Z690 motherboard or for the mainstream B660 motherboard, all M.2 interfaces can reach PCIe 4.0 super high-speed rate, for PC players who want to match ultra-high-speed solid-state storage combination, it is undoubtedly a gospel.
After the motherboard is selected, the next thing to consider is which SSD to choose, because I am a heavy gamer, not only requires the SSD to be fast enough, but also has to have a large capacity to meet the needs of my computer full of AAA masterpieces. In the end, I chose an SSD with high capacity and super high speed, which is the Acer Predator GM7000 PCIe 4.0 SSD with 2TB capacity that I am currently using. 3.31 At eight o'clock in the evening, Acer Predator Storage Jingdong self-operated flagship store opened the second kill, 1TB only sold 999 yuan, 2TB only sold 2098 yuan! The price is powerful, the performance is explosive, it is worth starting!
Players who have seen the PS5 demo before or have already started the PS5 must have been shocked by the super fast game loading speed of this generation of consoles, which is precisely because the PS5 uses a solid state that supports PCIe 4.0, and its sequential reading speed reaches 5500MB/s, does it look very fast? Then I will tell you that the speed of the Acer Predator GM7000 series even far exceeds the original hard drive of the PS5, and the sequential read speed directly comes to 7400MB/s.
Of course, sequential read and write speeds do not represent the actual experience, because there are many scattered small files in the game file, so random read and write speed is also very critical. At this point, the Acer Predator GM7000 series is still not behind, take my previous PCIe 3.0 high-end solid state as a system disk, its random read speed is 400K IOPS, while the Acer Predator GM7000 series can reach up to 1300K IOPS, which is more than three times higher. The game that required more than ten seconds to read the bar before the actual measurement can now enter the game screen in less than 5 seconds, and the reading speed is simply fast.
Will there be a price for such a speed? The answer is yes, PCIe 4.0 SSD power consumption is at a high level, if you do not do a good job of heat dissipation, it will be a little bit due to temperature overheating and downgrading, the experience may not be as slow as the slower, but lower power CONSUMPTION PCIe 3.0 solid state.
But you also have to look carefully, I am talking about those hard disks with almost no heat dissipation measures, not the Acer Predator GM7000 series. Acer Predator Series SSDs are equipped with removable graphene composite thermal pads and Z-type metal radiators, which can greatly reduce the temperature of the chip when running at high speed, even in the absence of wind power, if in the chassis air duct, there is no need to worry about temperature problems, the SSD can continue to operate under high load.
In addition, up to 2GB of large-capacity cache is to let acer predator GM7000 series SSD has the ability to continuously read and write at high speed, usually encounter some large-volume game archives need to be stored into the computer, in the heatsink and large cache of the synergy, even some dozens of large file copies, can continue to maintain high-speed writing. Even if you copy some large files, you can get it done quickly, and finally you don't have to stay in front of the computer all the time waiting for the file to be written.
In addition to being stunning enough in performance, the Acer Predator GM7000 series also has a longer lifespan than the average hard drive. Taking the 2TB version as an example, the vast majority of solid-state TWs of this capacity can withstand between 800 and 1200, while the Acer Predator GM7000 series can reach 1300TBW. In other words, if you download 100G files every day and delete them, you will have to persist for 35 years to consume them, which can be called an "heirloom" solid state, which can be used from your college until your son/daughter goes to college.
As a key device for storing data in the computer, the speed of the hard disk affects our system response speed, program startup speed, game loading speed, and even in open-world games, if the hard disk is not fast enough, there will be sticker loading. So if you're the kind of player who pursues top speed, the Acer Predator GM7000 series is the perfect choice for you. If you do not have such a high demand, but want a more cost-effective solid state, then its same door GM3500 series is also very suitable for you, everyone according to their own needs to choose.
