Product overview

Launched on June 23, 2021, the FireCuda 530 is Seagate’s PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1.4 family; this 4TB M.2 2280 model (ZP4000GM3A013) uses a Seagate‑validated E18 controller with 3D TLC NAND. It remains an active product as of July 2026 and is not discontinued. Positioned as a high_end Gen4 SSD, it exists for builders who want top‑tier Gen4 speeds and endurance without moving to Gen5. Expect Gen4‑class peaks (around 7.25 GB/s read, 6.9 GB/s write) and a very high 5,100‑TBW rating, making it well‑suited as a boot drive, a large game library, video‑editing scratch space, and for PS5 expansion when used with a heatsink.
