Seagate FireCuda 530, 4 TB, Internal Solid State Drive - M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7300 MB/s, 3D TLC NAND, 5100 TBW, Heatsink, 3 year Rescue Services (ZP4000GM3A023)

Product Information

Highest Performance. At up to 7,300 MB/s you can harness the full power of PCIe Gen4 speeds to dominate next-generation games and applications Fastest. FireCuda. Ever. Built for sustained, pro-level gaming and accelerated content creation with transfer speeds up to 2× faster than PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs and up to 12× faster than SATA SSDs. application workloads. This is different than full entropy tests which use 100% of the drive and take them into a steady state. As a result, these figures will reflect higher-sustained write speeds. Per our measurements, the 4TB FireCuda 530 comes with a large 450GB SLC cache. The FireCuda wrote data at a rate of 6.9 GBps until the SLC cache filled, but then performance degraded to an average write rate of 4 GBps for an additional 3TB before the drive slowed down once again. In its slowest writing state, the FireCuda 530 wrote at 1,625 MBps until full.

Seagate uses the Phison E18 controller, which they state is a “Seagate-validated” part. With the E18 being one of the better consumer Gen4 controllers we’ve seen recently, its no question why they went with this model. Latest Tech. Built with a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND, FireCuda 530 provides the PCIE5.0 drives are slowly arriving for sale but if you need the extra speeds for a professional workflow PCIE5.0 is probably better for you at not so much as a price hike as you would expect,The only game I played that had a problem with an M.2 drive was Fallout 4 for door load times of over a minute,When I installed it in my Sata ssd drive it was 5 seconds, That was the only encounter I had where the game didn't like the Firecuda 530)

The Seagate FireCuda 530 is the fastest PCIe 4 NVMe SSD we’ve seen to date. It’s a bit pricey, but the extra cash also delivers outstanding longevity and support. Highly recommended. In 4K random read, the Seagate FireCuda 530 starts the testing with a high scoring IOPS of 577,825 and latency of 219.7µs. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. For actually production tasks, It's actually very good if you run alot of plugins or after effects,Last but not least, with the VDI Monday Login test, the FireCuda 530 easily takes first with IOPS of 44,059 with a latency of 255.1µs. When it comes to benchmarking storage devices, application testing is best, and synthetic testing comes in second place. While not a perfect representation of actual workloads, synthetic tests do help to baseline storage devices with a repeatability factor that makes it easy to do apples-to-apples comparison between competing solutions. These workloads offer a range of different testing profiles ranging from “four corners” tests, common database transfer size tests, to trace captures from different VDI environments. Rescue Services.
