Product overview

Released on June 23, 2021, the FireCuda 530 is Seagate’s PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1.4 SSD family; this 4TB M.2 2280 model uses 3D TLC NAND with a Seagate‑validated Phison E18 controller.

Positioned as a high_end Gen4 drive, it exists to deliver top‑tier Gen4 speeds with unusually high write endurance for gaming and content creation.
