Those looking for a serious SSD storage upgrade for their gaming rigs have a new option with the FireCuda 530 from Seagate, which is now available in the Philippines.
An upgrade from the FireCuda 510, Seagate’s new SSD drives support PCIe Gen 4 NVMe speeds, offering read speeds of as high as 7300MB/s. That is around twice as fast as current PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSDs and up to 12 times faster than SATA SSDs. Making those fast speeds possible is the use of a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND to ensure sustained performance.
Should you need better thermal management, Seagate partnered with EKWB for a custom heatsink designed specifically for the FireCuda 530. The custom heatsink is made from a high-grade aluminum block with a finely texturized anodized finish to maximize cooling efficiency. Aside from small PC builds, FireCuda 530 SSDs with a heatsink is compatible with PlayStation 5 consoles and they meet Sony’s strict SSD standards as well.
In terms of durability, the FireCuda 530 offers a long-lasting endurance of 1.8M MTBF and up to 5100 TBW— meaning gamers can write and delete 70% of the drive capacity every day for 5 years.Â
