Pro-level storage for gamers and creators

The Seagate FireCuda 510 2TB M.2 2280 SSD targets pro-level PC gamers and creative pros who need sustained throughput for large game libraries, video projects and heavy multitasking. Its PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface delivers up to 3450 MBps sequential read and 3200 MBps sequential write. Random performance reaches 485000 IOPS read and 600000 IOPS write.

Upgrade from SATA or earlier NVMe

The drive replaces a SATA SSD or an earlier NVMe model when load times, install speeds and simultaneous workload responsiveness become bottlenecks. The Gen3 x4 link provides up to 6x faster sequential throughput than SATA, while an enhanced dynamic SLC cache reserves up to 28GB for longer burst performance. The jump is worth it when workflows demand consistent high IOPS and 2TB capacity without partitioning.

M.2 2280 fit for desktops and laptops

The ultra-slim M.2 2280 form factor slots directly into compatible motherboards or laptop sockets, freeing 2.5-inch drive bays and cabling for other components. It operates from 0°C to 70°C and stores safely from -40°C to 85°C. Idle power draws 26 mW and active consumption peaks at 6.0W, keeping thermal headroom manageable in compact builds.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 form factor fit my laptop slot?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, measuring 80 mm long and 22 mm wide. Verify your motherboard or laptop has an M-keyed slot that accepts 2280-length cards.

What step do people miss when installing the PCIe G3 x4 NVMe 1.3 drive?

After seating the drive in the M.2 slot and securing it with the motherboard screw, many forget to enable the NVMe controller in BIOS so the OS installer can see the 2TB volume.

How long is the 3D TLC NAND rated to last under heavy write workloads?

The drive carries a 1.8M hour MTBF rating and the dynamic SLC cache reserves up to 28GB to absorb burst writes, extending NAND endurance for gaming and creative workloads.
