Seagate FireCuda 530, 1 TB, Internal SSD, M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7300 MB/s, 3D TLC NAND, 1275 TBW, 1.8M MTBF, For PS5/PC, 3 year Rescue Services (ZP1000GM3A013)

I installed this SSD into my PS5, and I’m seriously impressed. The speed is absolutely incredible — games load noticeably faster compared to the default internal PS5 SSD. Whether I’m jumping into massive open-world games or switching between titles, everything feels smoother and quicker.What really makes this SSD a must-have is the storage capacity. I no longer have to worry about deleting games to make space. I’ve installed a ton of AAA titles and still have room left — it’s a huge relief not having to constantly juggle downloads.Installation was quick and easy, and the performance boost is worth every penny. If you’re looking to expand your PS5 storage without compromising on speed, this SSD is the perfect choice. Highly recommend it!

I bought this for my PS5 and just recently moved it over to my Pro. Easy to connect, format and transfer games to and from. Loading speeds have been the best and cannot fault this item at all. A must for any Playstation 5 owner looking to get the most out of their console. Now I have a 4TB PS5 Pro!

The firecuda 530 came recommend from various sources, it was great value when I purchased the 2tb version, I purchased the ssd to expand the storage on a ps5, I have easily installed the ssd into the playstation, its read and write speeds are as advertised and works great in the ps5, I haven't had any heat or overheating issues, it moved games from ps5 memory to the ssd in seconds and the games load as quick if not quicker than the ps5 built in memory .I definitely recommend the firecuda 530, it's great value, with the 3 years back up for data recovery from Seagate, it's a win.

Quality item that works very well, it's fast and you can store a lot of games there. Bought mine for my PS5 in 2021 and I've had 0 issues with it.

Did a lot of research on which m.2 ssd to buy (WD Black/Samsung/Firecuda) benchmark testing, PS5 only videos, and installed this particular drive in my ps5 for faster game loads.. the ssd i bought was the firecuda 1Tb version with heatsink - very simple to install.Turned off and unplugged ps5. slide the lid/casing off the bottom of the ps5. Unscrew the ssd casing. position the screw and washer they provide down 1 notch to the 80mm mark and gently inserted the drive, hearing the click as the ssd drive slots in.Then proceeded to turn on the ps5, which prompted me to format the usb drive… taking a few seconds to format and eventually giving a read speed of 6538.91MB/s as shown in the image - which is to be expected as i think ps5 bottlenecks this read speed around this value. Having a look at reviews of other ssd brands other customers have bought and reviewed.. they all seem to cap out at this 6500MB/s speed so i am very happy the SSD arrived on time (1 day delivery cos gamer), and is performing as expected.Transferred Destiny 2 and Godfall ~103GB of data from the console storage to this m.2 SSD drive (go to an app, and press options -> move game data) - this took about 1 minute.. to transfer 100GB of data!! incredibly fast.One thing i did not expect however was that my LAN cable was Disconnected during this data transfer - i did have to switch my ps5 off an on again as this seemed to bug out my lan connection entirely. So I deleted the current Wired Lan profile, restarted my PS5, and then set up my network connection again which fixed the issue - but this i suspect was possibly an intended software feature on Sony's end. I would advise maybe disconnecting any LAN cables during data transfers to mitigate thisI didn't test any Thermal production of the ssd drive however, as i didn't have the tools to do so but from reading around this ssd drive with heatsink is the way to go, custom heatsinks offer ~15-20ºC reduction in cooling, however the drive with heatsink can get anywhere from ~20-30ºC reliably.Loaded up Destiny 2 and everything was loading noticeabley faster than game storage - from title screen to loading into a game environment was very quick. Would recommend.

The drive exceeded the advertised read/writes with 7391/6144 right out of the box.Test System: X570/5900X/RTX 3090/64GBThe temp peaked to 55*C in the Crystal Disk bench. Office is fairly cool and the drive is idling at 38*C, but I figured this would be the case since it sits in the first M.2 slot on my X570 motherboard. Air needs to channel between the RAM and GPU to reach it, honestly - it's a terrible placement for these Gen4 NVMe since they can generate so much heat. My second M.2 slot is covered by the GPU and I already have a slower NVMe in it for extra storage.Only purchased since my previous NVMe, Aorus Gen4 (the all copper launch one), died due to overheating. That drive was idling at 55*C and those first gen Phison controllers haven't earned a great reputation for reliability.The biggest reason for buying this drive is the endurance rating for the drive and that it could possibly generate less heat since the memory is limited to 1,200 MTps vs. 1,600 MTps. Definitely on the pricier side of similar 1TB NVMe drives (980 Pro, KC3000, SN850, Rocket 4 Plus, and Platinum P41), but it's also has the highest endurance rating out of all of them and free data recovery for 3-years.
