FireCuda 530 Heatsink 1TB is an ultra-fast gen4 SSD with an EK heatsink that offers a minimalist design, anodized aluminum body, and finely textured micropore surface to improve heat transfer and lower SSD temperatures. Thanks to that, FireCuda 530 can run at peak speeds for extended periods of time.

Record-breaking speeds
This SSD delivers incredible transfer speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s with extremely fast response times allowing applications to run fast, snappy, and with no bottlenecks in the storage department. It is ideal for high-bandwidth video rendering, previewing, and as a Photoshop scratch-disk for large files. It also works amazing for gaming, providing fast load times and great access times. FireCuda 530 has DDR4 memory for caching, but it also uses an SLC dynamic cache alongside a technology called SmartFlush to recover the SLC cache space quickly making sure it never fills up its buffer.

The Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND memory are the core components of the SSD, that together with the NVMe™ PCIe Gen4 support, make the drive up to 2x faster than PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs and up to 12x faster than SATA SSDs.
Sustainability
All this speed also generates extra heat. The EK-made low-profile heatsink is built from high-grade aluminum with a finely textured anodized finish to maximize cooling efficiency. This built-in heatsink helps reduce thermal throttling while allowing peak performance for longer periods of time.
Durability
This drive was not only built for speed but also for reliability and durability. It allows the user to fill and delete 70% of the drive capacity every day in the span of 5 years. For this 1TB model, that means you can re-write roughly 700GB each day for those 5 years of use. It is also rated for 1.8 million hours MTBF.

PS5 Compatibility
FireCuda 530 Heatsink 1TB SSD works perfectly with PlayStation 5 consoles. It meets PS5 specs on performance and dimensions thanks to the low-profile heatsink. The built-in heatsink gives it an edge over the competing drives without a heatsink, but it also does not sacrifice any compatibility thanks to the low-profile design.
