Product Information

Random access performance is merely good rather than exceptional, but the Firecuda’s low operating temps are impressive. The same goes for the epic 2,550TB write endurance rating. All told, this is a truly excellent drive that would be an excellent addition to any PC. It’s also fully compatible with the Sony PS5, (but not the Xbox Series X). In 64K writes, the FireCuda 530 placed 2nd place again, sporting a peak score of 32,162 IOPS or 2.01GB/s at a latency of 170µs. I'm still sad even to this day that 3.1tb of games from the PS5 was lost by a faulty Phison E18 controller on the 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.

For pc games absolutely not, Very few games use the Direct storage API to use the PCIE4.0 to it's full potential (Forspoken ,Ratchet & clank Rift apart) Any other pc games will be the same speed for load times as any sata ssd, Because when Samsung launches it's 990 pro 4tb in September hopefully it makes seagate lower their price for the 530 even more, The Seagate FireCuda 530 line of SSDs come in at capacities between 500GB and 4TB. Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB SpecsAhora viene ese pero del que hablé al principio de mi opinión; siendo que apenas se están desarrollando juegos de PS5 de primera generación es muy posible que en unos años los juegos que se desarrollen tengan requisitos de memoria más altos que este disco nvme no pueda satisfacer. Solo menciono que en caso que lo llegues a comprar funcionará a la perfección ya que la consola lo detecta correctamente y lo percibe como si fuese una unidad que cumple con todos los requisitos para utilizarlo y que funciona de maravilla con todos los juegos que le he arrojado. a 500GB volume for the database and log files. From a system resource perspective, we configured each VM with 16 vCPUs, 64GB of DRAM and leveraged the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller. While our Sysbench workloads tested previously saturated the platform in both storage I/O and capacity, the SQL test is looking for latency performance. The FireCuda 530 is fresh and new and affords us the perfect opportunity to debut our new SSD testing regimen utilizing a fresh and new Windows 11 Pro OS. Windows 10 is old news and pretty much garbage compared with Windows 11, even in beta form. We find Windows 11 to be superior in every way, including storage performance. Windows 11 is serving up superior storage performance where it matters most, so we feel compelled to make the switch right now.

File transfer times were some of the most impressive I’ve seen in all my time testing SSDs, with particular highlights being with some of the biggest PS5 games. Horizon: Forbidden West, with its 99.35 GB file size, jumped from the internal storage to the NVMe SSD in just 1 minute and 19 seconds (or 79 seconds). Equally impressive is Death Stranding: Director’s Cut (69.35 GB), which transferred in only 54 seconds. That’s well over 1 GB/sec being more-than-enough to copy your entire game library over in just a few minutes. 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. Seagate recommend to me to wait until the middle of 2022 to buy another one until they fix all the problems of faulty E18 controllers that cause random formatting on the Playstation 5, Well I have a Playstation 5 and thanks to Sony having common sense of allowing an firmware update to the console that let the M.2 slot be used up to a maximum of 4tb storage, In 4K random read, the Seagate FireCuda 530 starts the testing with a high scoring IOPS of 577,825 and latency of 219.7µs.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.
