SEAGATE FIRECUDA 530

Pro-grade storage for your PlayStation 5 might just be the thing to put aside the worries of deleting games for good. The Seagate FireCuda 530 is one of the fastest, if not the fastest NVMe SSDs we’ve tested.

- 

With a Sequential Read of 7,300 MB/s and a Sequential Write of 6,900 MB/s, the FireCuda 530 (2TB) we tested feels like a natural extension of the PS5’s internal storage. It runs oh-so-smoothly and the heat management is kept to a minimum. There are contingents in place to keep it from thermal throttling as well.

In short, the Seagate FireCuda 530 is built for speed and it’s even officially PlayStation 5 compatible so you don’t have to worry about fiddling with the thing. Simply plug and play. It’s monkey-easy.

The FireCuda 530 also comes with a three-year Rescue Data Recovery Service plan and a five-year limited warranty so if you make a boo-boo, the folks at Seagate can repair and recover your data no questions asked. Just don’t put questionable stuff on it.

Starting at a cool ₹12,499 for the 500GB with heatsink, the Firecuda 530 is competitively priced with the WD SN850. Although there’s a bit of Seagate premium lathered here for that jaw-dropping performance. It’s also endurance tested for 1.8M MTBF, meaning you can sit for 5 years every day and write and delete 70% of the drive capacity.

The chunky aluminium block that sits on top of the SSD doesn’t sport any fins but it’s specially designed by EKWB and it works wonders to keep the Seagate FireCuda 530 cool while sitting effortlessly within the SSD storage housing provided on the PlayStation 5.
