About this deal

Seagate warns that the surface of the 530 may be hot. That’s under heavy use, of course. This is an image of the 2TB model we tested. This was a rather astounding 450GB write time, shaving nearly 20 seconds of the previous best. Shorter bars are better. Thank you so much for explaining the durability period for the M.2 drives. My big worry is that the Ps5 will place strong demand on the M.2 drives and thus lessen the durability of them over a short time. I very much appreciate it especially because no other YouTube channel is discussing this issue.

Who cares about the Crystal Disk Mark tests when the actual copy speed, even for a very large file, isn’t more than 2GB/s, when as per Seagate’s claim, it should be around 6GBs/. Pathetic SSD indeed! Great content, thank you. I will be attaching the 1TB 530 along with that Sabrent heatsink to the PS5. I think you mentioned its fine as long as I leave the cover off the SSD enclosure correct? Thanks for your videos man. Currently in the process of deciding if Firecuda 530 is overkill for my PS5 use case. I won’t be streaming, recording, etc just playing mainly RPGs (a little 2K and Madden here and there). I know buying this would be “future proofing” but is that even a valid phrase anymore with how fast the tech industry moves. WD sn850 dropped less than a yr ago and has already been surpassed in performance and reliability on paper. Fast forward a yr from now, I imagine the same will happen with this drive. You can never keep up! Why is it that the xpg s70 for the most part best everything I’m seeing here? Except for iops of course Just to let everyone know, seating your SSD make take multiple attempts to get it installed proper. It took me 4 try’s before my PS5Still, this speed, when paired with all the benefits that the new flash has to offer, will provide for plenty of uplift in comparison to Phison E18-based SSDs paired with Micron’s 96L floating gate TLC interfacing at the same speed. Not only does this flash feature four planes, but also multiple physical enhancements to its design over the company’s previous memory. Micron’s replacement gate flash uses metal-based control gates, features an increased etch diameter, and reduced cell-to-cell capacitive coupling issues to provide for its fast performance and high-end endurance. I realize it has been a year since this video was uploaded but I just got my first PS5 and I’m wondering what is the VERY BEST 2TB ssd for it.

Thank you for finally making this video, can you please next do a speed performance comparison test video with the PS5???????????????????? The Seagate FireCuda 530 (2TB) is the fastest NVMe SSD we’ve tested; it has a very high TBW rating for a consumer drive; and it also carries a five-year guarantee with three years of data recovery coverage. It isn’t cheap, but it’s the best thing out there. is it worth having a heat sink? My toweer has a window and I can open that whole side of the desktop to get fresh air in, and also, I have a bunch of fans going as well As mentioned (about a million times, I know) the Firecuda 530 features M.2 PCIe4 architecture, arriving in NVMe 1.4 revision. This is an important detail as, although there are currently a large number of PCIe4 M.2 SSDs on the market, some are using older revisions. This can be updated in some cases, but it is by no means consumer-friendly/universal. Below is a breakdown of the hardware specifications of the Firecuda 530. There are a number of key factors here that really need your attention! Drive

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. Don't buy it if... Thank you for this terrific review! I’m surprised Samsung (i.e. the king of PCIe 3.0 SSDs with the 970 Evo Plus) has not released a contender for the Firecuda 530 – neither in speed, especially write speed, nor capacity (4TB). Do you see Samsung releasing a flagship 4TB PCIe 4 SSD with > 7GB/s read AND write speeds before jumping over to PCIe 5.0 SSDs next year? The Seagate FireCuda 530 is the fastest PCIe 4 NVMe SSD we’ve seen to date. It’s a bit pricey, but the extra cash also delivers outstanding longevity and support. Highly recommended. Im not very computer savvy but your doing a great job helping me decide what’s best for my PS5 thanks

Considering its price, brand, and miniscule performance benefit I’d rather buy a better samsung 980 pro or wd sn850. They’re both in house so they know internally the binning and quality level of everything and I trust either of them more than a buy nand and controller separately company. The 2TB and 4TB drives are double-sided, while the 512GB/1TB capacities are single-sided. This is a possible consideration if your laptop is super-thin. There are also two basic FireCuda 530 versions. One comes with a heatsink, and the other does not. We have the heatsink-less version on hand. When testing the Seagate Firecuda 530, I wanted to perform a good balance of consumer-accessible tests. So the results below come from testing this 500GB SSD on a PC system and loading game tests from a PS5 system (for those considering this SSD for a console gaming system).You can really only get the most out of the Seagate Firecuda 530 with 1TB and up, so if you’re gunning for a 500GB SSD, you can get a cheaper one that does the same job. Lyve: Periferie-naar-cloudplatform voor massaopslag Lyve Cloud: Voordelige objectopslag, ontworpen voor de multicloud Alongside the controller and NAND, the Firecuda 530 features DD4 DRAM/memory. This scales in capacity alongside each storage tier of the series. Another interesting thing of note on the Seagate Firecuda 530 SSD drive physically is that regardless of whether you chooses the 500GB, 1TB, 2TB or 4TB, they ALL arrive at 2280 length. This is to be expected on the smaller capacities, but the 4TB in particular managing to hit that cap without resorting to a 22110 (without compromising the NAND storage to QLC etc) is impressive indeed. This does mean that the 2TB and 4TB model then need to be double-sided drives (something to factor in at the heatsink level on more compact PC and console systems like PS5) but never the less, only 2-3 brands including Seagate include a 4TB drive at this architecture and performance threshold. I’d love to see somebody testing an 8tb internal NVMe drive in the PS5. I’m aware that Sony have stated that 4tb is the maximum capacity. Hello sir. Thank you for detailed information about seaget firecuda 530 m.2 SSD. I bought it after i watched your video. But i couldn’te find a detailed guide to apply firmware update. Could you nake a video about firmware update? Love your videos. Thank you.
