About this deal

I have a new PC with a B560-G Asus ROG Strix Gaming with Wifi motherboard paired with an Intel 11600K processor. Inside of the PS5, the Seagate FireCuda achieves 6,539 MB/s, making it one of the fastest NVMe drives I’ve ever had my hands on in all my years of testing SSDs. We’d like to compare both normal and EKWB adorned drives to each other, but would be surprised if there were more than a few degrees difference between the two though.

This article was edited on August 18th, 2021 to correct the label in the CDM 6 results from FireCuda 520 to FireCuda 530.WD sn850 dropped less than a yr ago and has already been surpassed in performance and reliability on paper. With its clean label and black PCB, the Seagate FireCuda 530 gets a thumbs up from us in the looks department. Seagate maakt het je eenvoudig om nieuwe schijven toe te voegen aan je computer en over hun status en prestaties te waken met de gratis DiscWizard™- en SeaTools™-software.

De krachtigste manier om de opslag van je PS5-console uit te breiden, is door een ultrasnelle PCIe Gen4 x4 M.So, now you know the hardware specifications, the performance benchmarks and exactly what makes the Seagate Firecuda 530 a particularly advantageous drive. I just downloaded warzone, and a full install in my firecuda in the time it took to watch this review. Built using such a robust controller in combination with thirty-two 512Gb dies of Micron’s production-grade 176L replacement gate TLC flash, the FireCuda 530 was made to perform. NVMes, however, it is easy to forget that the micron NAND featured in the Firecuda 530 is significantly higher quality than many at 176L (something we will touch on later). Even if you are not planning on hammered this drive daily, that only means this SSD NAND will last even longer and will in all likelihood massively outline whatever system it is installed within.

Inside we find the Firecuda 530 SSD in a two-piece plastic shell, thermal pad, warranty information (5 Years + 3yrs Rescue Data Recovery Services) and the Firecuda 530 M.

Also, unexpectedly, the FireCuda 530 reports flash interface speeds clocking just 1,200 MTps, matching that of other E18-based SSDs paired with Micron’s 96L floating gate TLC rather than our engineering sample that ran at the full 1,600 MTps capability.
