Seagate recently launched its latest PC gaming SSD, the FireCuda 530. A PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD with long-lasting endurance of 1.8M MTBF and up to 5100 TBW, Seagate’s FireCuda 530 boasts sequential read speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s and offers transfer rates that are up to 2 and 12 times faster than PCIe Gen3 SSDs and SATA-based SSDs, respectively. Leveraging a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND, the FireCuda 530 also features a minimalistic heatsink designed by EKWB that utilizes a “massive, high-grade” aluminum block instead of traditional cooling fins for maximum cooling performance.
