Seagate FireCuda 530, 4 TB, Internal Solid State Drive - M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7300 MB/s, 3D TLC NAND, 5100 TBW, Heatsink, 3 year Rescue Services (ZP4000GM3A023)

Product Information

While it’s no longer the absolute fastest of its class, the performance here is still high-end, showing that top-end Gen 4. Built from a high-grade aluminium block with a finely textured anodized finish to help maximise cooling efficiency, this built-in heatsink helps minimise thermal throttling while maximising peak performance for longer periods of time. Rather than operate the flash at 1,600 MTps as we had hoped for and expected, the 530’s flash operates at just 1,200 MTps, based on our software reports. We may deliver goods of a different description or specification from that agreed and as may be required to comply with any applicable safety or statutory requirements or which do not materially affect the quality or fitness for purpose of the goods.

Hopefully supply will start catching up with demand relatively soon, though with the way the gaming PC space has been progressing lately, I won’t hold my breath. It also features XTS-AES 256-bit encryption that is enabled by default without user authentication and will prevent threat actors from reading data directly from NAND. Not only does this flash feature four planes, but also multiple physical enhancements to its design over the company’s previous memory.You shall not pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the goods which are our property.

Those speeds also make it a prime performer for use in a PS5, with oodles of storage that'll increase your usable storage by approximately eight times, and blazing fast speeds. Seagate backs the FireCuda 530 with rather high endurance ratings, more than twice that of the average Samsung or WD SSD. Blistering transfer speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s, endurance, and capacity makes content creation applications run faster and smoother.Gaming on the PS5 with the Seagate FireCuda 530 is as quick and painless as you would expect, given what’s on the silicon here. We shall not be liable for any consequential loss including without limitation any loss caused by interruption of your business, loss of electronic information or physical damage to property and whether directly or indirectly caused by any breach of contract or by negligence by us or by any servant or agent of ours. That’s why Seagate partnered with EKWB — the leaders in heat management — to develop FireCuda 530’s custom heatsink. While these slower speeds may seem strange at first sight, this is likely done to ensure reliable and dependable performance under sustained abuse, as the FireCuda 530 comes with a robust warranty and endurance ratings.

Transfer after transfer, even while loading and running games or weathering various stress tests, didn't appear to phase the FireCuda.

Low-profile heatsink design allows for installation in tighter spaces, and premium dark gunmetal grey anodization creates additional micropores in the material surface to promote cooling properties. 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. If for reasons beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to an inability or failure on the part of the manufacturers or suppliers of the goods to supply the goods to us, we are unable to supply the goods to you, we may cancel the agreement at any time before the goods are delivered by giving notice to you. While our recent review of Crucial’s P5 Plus gave us another perspective on this new flash with a different controller, it was apparent that to truly unlock the potential of Micron’s new flash, Phison’s E18 NVMe SSD controller was needed.
