Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB

- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024Style: Gen4 - 7300MB/sCapacity: 2TBColor: 530Verified PurchaseAs someone who's dived into PC building, the Seagate FireCuda 530 has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I’ve used it primarily for my custom build with tons of RGB and high-performance components, and it’s made a huge difference. The 7300MB/s read speeds are amazing, especially when handling large files, games, and apps. Whether it's booting up or transferring data, everything is blazing fast.
This SSD isn’t just about speed it’s also about durability. With a 1275TBW endurance rating, I know it's built to last, which gives me peace of mind. Plus, the fact that it’s PS5 compatible is a bonus if I ever want to expand storage on my console. Although I haven’t used it on the PS5 yet, it’s nice knowing I have that option.
Seagate’s 3-year Rescue Data Recovery is another standout feature. Knowing that I’ve got that extra layer of protection makes this drive worth every penny.
It's extremely quiet, I haven't heard a peep from it even when with transfers of 7tb. That and my computer had 0 recognition issues. Crazy value and functionality.
I’ve used a few NVMe drives in the past, but this one outshines them all. If you need a reliable, fast, and future-proof storage solution, the FireCuda 530 is the way to go.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2022Style: Gen4 - 7300MB/sCapacity: 1TBColor: 530Verified PurchaseI bought this to replace an already pretty fast SSD drive for my primary OS drive (the C:/ drive) in a custom built professional 3D workstation, and the performance it gives it pretty incredible. I think for many users it will probably be even more dramatic than for my setup because I've already got 128 GB of RAM in the machine, so most tasks never need to access much of the Page file anyway.
Either way, loading up large files that might be several GBs in size take no time at all, making "auto-save" operations takes seconds when they used to be a minutes. Add all that time saved over tge course of a month or year? It's like being given days back that you never had before!
Boot times were previously fairly short but now it's easily under a minute total. Installing was simple though obviously it helps to have experience. Also be aware you may need to alter a few BIOS settings.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023Style: Gen4 - 7300MB/sCapacity: 4TBColor: 530Verified PurchaseI use laptops/notebooks pretty much exclusively since around 2008. Never had SSD temperature issues before, but my MSI GT77 Titan was cooking my SSDs, so I went looking for the coolest SSD I could find. The WD Black SN850X had incredible performance for the price, but it would get over 70° C and be disconnected in the middle of large transfers. The factory Samsung 980 Pro already has bad blocks, and it had only been half a year before they started showing up. Pretty much every SSD I tried would idle around 45° C and get up to at least 60° C while gaming (no load on the SSDs, just temps inside the laptop). I assumed that the Crucial P3 Plus would have better temps since it's a slower drive, but it was actually one of the worst of the bunch in terms of temperatures (it's an incredibly good deal for the money aside from the temps though). The Sabrent Rocket Q4 has decent temps, a bit above the 980 Pro. The SK Hynix P31 and P41 have temps that are at least as good as the 980 Pro, and while they use very little power, they still weren't the coolest.
I even purchased a second laptop with - I kid you not - a liquid cooling loop. This definitely helped the overall temps, and the Tongfang bottom plate helped because it's metal and not plastic like the MSI (so the bottom plate is like a big heatsink). Still, SSDs could hit 60°C.
I lucked out only when someone on the XMG Discord server mentioned how cool the older Firecuda 520 and 510 were for them.
I am completely blown away with how low the temps are while the performance is excellent. The performance is not quite as good as the SN850X, but this is comparing a drag racer with a formula 1 car; they are both so much faster than anyone realistically will ever need, so the speed differences don't really matter at all in real life. Far more important is the fact that the Seagate runs about 20° cooler than the WD... Yes, it's seriously that much.
The Firecuda tends to idle in the 30 to 40 range, and I've only seen it hit 60 or even the upper 50s when under extreme load. When I say extreme, I mean something like installing about a terabyte of Native Instruments software in a single go, nonstop reads and writes.
You definitely pay a premium for the cool temps as well as the performance and brand name, but when you're talking about potentially destroying several terabytes of data with hotter SSDs, it's worth every penny.
Right now I am only running Firecuda 530s in every M.2 slot, and the temps are both consistent and cool. Everything else is in an external enclosure that acts like a big heat sink as well. I never would have gotten my issues resolved without switching to this specific SSD.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022Style: Gen4 - 7300MB/sCapacity: 1TBColor: 530Verified PurchaseThis product is awsome for the ps5. Easy to install, just follow instructions online for ps5 heat sink assembly and as easy as click in and play.
I think this 1tb has good speed and reads faster and better than the ps5 system. Only memory isnt as big unless you get the 2 tb.
I would recommend this product but only as a high priced product. Can get a 1tb ssd for cheaper and work almost as fast. But with this, I am satisfied with the product.
On, with this product, you NEED a Heatsink setup for this to be installed. HEATSINK NOT INCLUDED.
