You definitely pay a premium for the cool temps as well as the performance and brand name, but when you're talking about potentially destroying several terabytes of data with hotter SSDs, it's worth every penny. I am completely blown away with how low the temps are while the performance is excellent. The performance is not quite as good as the SN850X, but this is comparing a drag racer with a formula 1 car; they are both so much faster than anyone realistically will ever need, so the speed differences don't really matter at all in real life. Far more important is the fact that the Seagate runs about 20° cooler than the WD... Yes, it's seriously that much. When looking at the Application Workload Analysis performance, the Seagate FireCuda 530 showed the second fastest results the lab has seen yet, bested by the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB. Some highlights include 577,835 IOPS in 4K read, 5.67GB/s in 64K read, 2.01GB/s in 64K write, and finally in VDI boot we saw 128,481 IOPS.

The FireCuda 540 arrives bare and without a heatsink. It’s designed to work with the aesthetics of your system by mating with whatever cooling solution you deem worthy. This can be nice as it doesn’t require you to remove a pre-installed heatsink and, further, doesn’t add unnecessary cost by adding a separate heatsink that you might not use. The drive does require cooling to operate properly, so it is not ideal for most laptops. It will work in a PlayStation 5 with an appropriate heatsink, but it is not the ideal choice; less expensive drives can provide the same experience. Physically, this is a standard M.2 2280, so offers wide compatibility with most of the best gaming PCs and best gaming laptops. It’s also compatible with Sony's latest console and so is a great contender for a PS5 SSDs, particularly when you factor in a variant that comes with a heatsink that’s specifically optimised for that machine. The extent to which that’s required for sustained performance, we’ll see shortly. Performance Obviamente después de la actualización más reciente de Sony me puse a buscar un nvme para ampliar la memoria de mi PS5 y pues…todo sale carísimo. Utilizo un disco duro estándar de 2 TB como memoria extra, pero obviamente lo que me interesa es poder jugar los juegos de PS5 sin tener que moverlos desde la memoria. Entra este disco con el que me topé mientras buscaba alternativas económicas a los que son oficialmente compatibles y decidí comprarlo. (El Firecuda 530 que oficialmente si es compatible y viene con todo y su disipador de calor sale también carísimo) Rescue Services. Rest easy with three years of Rescue Data Recovery Services, offering an industry-leading 95% success rate against unexpected data loss.

Acquistata per espandere la memoria della mia PS5, l'SSD è stato consegnato puntuale e in perfette condizioni. Seagate has stated that there are multiple reasons for this, but essentially it is challenging to achieve the right balance between speed, write endurance, and reliability. Faster I/O speeds put extra pressure on the controller and flash, which can lead to higher heat generation and additional thermal cycling stress. The flash on the FireCuda 540 utilizes an on-die thermal sensor with a maximum temperature of 90C for optimal stability, which helps emphasize that these drives are designed to be cooled in entirety.

Looking at SQL Server average latency, the Seagate FireCuda 530 had an average latency of 2ms, which places it at an impressive tie for 2nd. Only beaten by the Samsung 970 EVO Plus. No voy a decir directamente que “recomiendo” que compres este disco nvme para utilizarlo con tu PS5 ya que nuevamente, no es el que Sony “recomienda” The Seagate FireCuda 530 line of SSDs come in at capacities between 500GB and 4TB. Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB Specs 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,

Seagate FireCuda 530 SSD Performance

Today we are taking a look at the Seagate FireCuda 530 1TB NVMe SSD. Previously we reviewed the FireCuda 520, which is the immediate predecessor to this drive and was part of the initial wave of PCIe 4.0 SSDs. The FireCuda 530 represents Seagate’s premium entry into the second generation of PCIe 4.0 drives, featuring the Phison PS5018-E18 controller and TLC NAND. Drives based on the PS5018-E18 have performed very well in our previous testing, so expectations are high for this drive! Seagate FireCuda 530 1TB NVMe SSD As it did with the FireCuda 520, Seagate has again partnered with Phison Electronics to bring forth the FireCuda 530. Propelling the FireCuda 530 to these record level speeds is a controller we are intimately familiar with, the Phison E18. Phison's E18 controller is by far the most prolific controller in its class, finding its way onto more Gen4 SSDs than any other. However, until now, E18 based retail drives have only been paired with 96Layer Micron flash. En cuanto a rendimiento al jugar juegos directamente del nvme, el desempeño del nvme es prácticamente indistinguible al de la memoria interna. Jugué Los siguientes juegos de PS5 para probar el rendimiento y tiempos de carga: Control (versión para PS5) Astro’s Playroom, Control, Assasins Creed Odyssey y Spiderman Miles Morales. En todos los juegos traté de poner la mayor cantidad de efectos especiales y muestra de personajes donde posiblemente se pudiera ver afectado el rendimiento del nvme pero no pude percibir bajas en el rendimiento del nvme como sería algún crasheo del juego o bajas de cuadros por segundo. Los tiempos de carga son prácticamente indistinguibles también a lo que pude ver. Literally the faster the storage drive the better really, It will save you lot of time just booting up the app or updating everything in creative Cloud, everettfsargent said:Could someone please explain iometer and sequential writes to an ssd? Also after a full write to a disk should not the test stop?

The Seagate FireCuda 530 is currently the fastest NVMe SSD on the market. It not only bested the best of the rest in our real-world and synthetic benchmarks, it did so by a healthy marginin several tests. If you can afford it and you can find it, you won’t regret it.NVMe SSDs are tested natively through an M.2 to PCIe adapter card in the edge-card slot, while U.2 drives are loaded in the front. The methodology used better reflects end-user workflow with the consistency, scalability, and flexibility testing within virtualized server offers. A large focus is put on drive latency across the entire load range of the drive, not just at the smallest QD1 (Queue-Depth 1) levels. We do this because many of the common consumer benchmarks don’t adequately capture end-user workload profiles. Considerable Capacity. Graphics-intensive games and big files are no problem with up to 4 TB capacities to keep your gaming library at your fingertips and your creative content rendering. Al instalarlo el PS5 me pidió que formateara el nvme y realizó una pequeña prueba de velocidad de lectura. Curiosamente el Firecuda 520 arrojó una velocidad de lectura de 5636.845 MB/s quedando justo por encima de los 5500 MB/s que Sony recomienda cuando se supone tiene velocidades máximas de 5000 MB/s. Aquí puede estar pasando una de dos cosas: la primera es que algo hay en la arquitectura del PS5 que seguramente le permite al nvme operar a velocidades más altas que en una PC compatible o alternativamente, el PS5 está realizando la lectura de velocidad de los nvme de manera incorrecta. Teniendo ese punto en cuenta, es posiblemente el único problema con el que me pueda topar en el futuro. Por el momento el desempeño del nvme es excelente y estoy muy contento. Siendo que es un disco de solo 500 GB no tengo problema haber invertido lo que le invertí; en el futuro ya que bajen un poco los precios si terminaré comprando uno de 2 tb pero que sea “oficialmente” compatible para mi PS5.
