Seagate FireCuda 530, 1 TB, Internal SSD, M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7300 MB/s, 3D TLC NAND, 1275 TBW, 1.8M MTBF, For PS5/PC, 3 year Rescue Services (ZP1000GM3A013)

I bought this for my PS5 and just recently moved it over to my Pro. Easy to connect, format and transfer games to and from. Loading speeds have been the best and cannot fault this item at all. A must for any Playstation 5 owner looking to get the most out of their console. Now I have a 4TB PS5 Pro!

Quality item that works very well, it's fast and you can store a lot of games there. Bought mine for my PS5 in 2021 and I've had 0 issues with it.

I have a HP Zbook G9 laptop and its only flaw was that it had a "small by today's standards" 1TB NVME internal SSD. I asked the manufacturer and it took months of going back and forth to find out if I could put a larger SSD product... and at the time, which was a couple of months ago, they had no clue.Finally they proposed one of their own products for an extorsionate price and only 2TB.So I thought let's try this one - I could always return it if it overheated which was my main concern, as it was going to be installed without a heatsink and in a laptop - when nowhere in the product description does it say that it's suitable to a laptop. It mentions tower systems and it mentions PS5 but not laptop.So I tried it. Four months later I do not regret giving it a try: it has worked perfectly.Not only do I no longer have to worry about running out of storage space on my large video editing projects, but the SSD is super fast. My concerns about overheating were eclipsed: when working really hard the device reached around 59 degrees celcius, which is well within design/operational limits and bearing in mind the CPU is measured at 98 degrees celcius and GPU at 80 degrees celcius, is pretty cool in comparison!So this has worked really well for me.

Did a lot of research on which m.2 ssd to buy (WD Black/Samsung/Firecuda) benchmark testing, PS5 only videos, and installed this particular drive in my ps5 for faster game loads.. the ssd i bought was the firecuda 1Tb version with heatsink - very simple to install.Turned off and unplugged ps5. slide the lid/casing off the bottom of the ps5. Unscrew the ssd casing. position the screw and washer they provide down 1 notch to the 80mm mark and gently inserted the drive, hearing the click as the ssd drive slots in.Then proceeded to turn on the ps5, which prompted me to format the usb drive… taking a few seconds to format and eventually giving a read speed of 6538.91MB/s as shown in the image - which is to be expected as i think ps5 bottlenecks this read speed around this value. Having a look at reviews of other ssd brands other customers have bought and reviewed.. they all seem to cap out at this 6500MB/s speed so i am very happy the SSD arrived on time (1 day delivery cos gamer), and is performing as expected.Transferred Destiny 2 and Godfall ~103GB of data from the console storage to this m.2 SSD drive (go to an app, and press options -> move game data) - this took about 1 minute.. to transfer 100GB of data!! incredibly fast.One thing i did not expect however was that my LAN cable was Disconnected during this data transfer - i did have to switch my ps5 off an on again as this seemed to bug out my lan connection entirely. So I deleted the current Wired Lan profile, restarted my PS5, and then set up my network connection again which fixed the issue - but this i suspect was possibly an intended software feature on Sony's end. I would advise maybe disconnecting any LAN cables during data transfers to mitigate thisI didn't test any Thermal production of the ssd drive however, as i didn't have the tools to do so but from reading around this ssd drive with heatsink is the way to go, custom heatsinks offer ~15-20ºC reduction in cooling, however the drive with heatsink can get anywhere from ~20-30ºC reliably.Loaded up Destiny 2 and everything was loading noticeabley faster than game storage - from title screen to loading into a game environment was very quick. Would recommend.

Works as described been using a while no issues so far

Received it and come as advertised superfast I purchased 1TB tbh could have went for bigger storage but it’s enough for game to be stored depending on the file size but overall I love the design of it and packaging it come with it’s worth the money I paid for considering its speed fitment was easy and storage capacity I know seagate SSD are quite good brand I have 2TB USB hard drive plugged on my PS4 console as external storage drive it’s works smoothly and amazing I would recommend this brand of course it’s going cost a bit dosh but I rather choose brand which I know
