This cutting-edge SSD is engineered for those who demand fast, reliable, and high-performance computing experiences.

Crafted with a minimalist and sleek design, the FireCuda 530 features an anodized aluminum body and a finely textured micropore surface, meticulously designed to enhance heat transfer. This efficient heat dissipation ensures that the SSD operates at super-efficient temperatures, maintaining peak performance for extended periods without thermal throttling.

It's the ultimate tool for creators and gamers who engage in rigorous activities like recording, downloading, rewriting, and repeating without a hitch.

Seagate has pushed the boundaries of speed with the FireCuda 530, which operates up to 2x faster than PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs and up to 12x faster than traditional SATA SSDs. To manage the extreme speeds of NVMe PCIe Gen4, Seagate collaborated with EKWB, the leaders in heat management, to develop a custom heatsink. This high-grade aluminum block with its anodized finish maximizes cooling efficiency, ensuring that the FireCuda 530 operates at cool speeds ahead of the competition.

The low-profile design of the heatsink not only allows for installation in tighter spaces but also features a premium dark gunmetal gray anodization that creates additional micropores on the material surface, further enhancing its cooling properties.

Durability is at the core of the FireCuda 530, designed to withstand heavy use and endure over time. It boasts a high endurance rating with 0.7 Drive Writes per Day, allowing you to fill and delete 70% of the drive capacity every day for five years. With a Mean Time Between Failures of 1.8 million hours and up to 5100TB Total Terabytes Written, this SSD offers trusted reliability and long-lasting durability.

Equipped with the latest technology, the FireCuda 530 is built with a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND, ensuring you have the most advanced speed and durability at your fingertips.

For PlayStation 5 enthusiasts, the FireCuda 530 offers seamless storage expansion, meeting PS5 specs on performance and dimensions. The integrated heatsink combo ensures an easy drop-in solution for expanding your console's storage capacity without the need for additional parts.
