1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD for gaming

The Seagate FireCuda 530 ZP1000GM3A013 is a 1TB M.2 2280 internal SSD built for consumers who need fast storage. It uses 3D TLC memory and a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface to deliver high throughput. The drive targets gamers and creators who want responsive loads and quick file transfers.

Installation is a standard M.2 2280 slot insertion

The drive fits any motherboard or laptop with an M.2 2280 key-M slot that supports PCIe Gen4 x4. No cables or brackets are required. The unit ships without a heatsink, so the host platform must provide adequate airflow or a motherboard shield to avoid thermal throttling under sustained write workloads.

1TB capacity handles modern game libraries

Sequential reads reach up to 7300 MBps and writes up to 6000 MBps, with 4KB random reads up to 800000 IOPS and writes up to 1000000 IOPS. That headroom covers large texture streaming, video editing timelines and heavy multitasking. Very long sustained writes or near-full drive conditions will reduce write speeds as the SLC cache fills.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the FireCuda 530 ZP1000GM3A013 is running at its rated 7300 MBps sequential read speed after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark on the NVMe drive; a fresh 1TB unit should show reads near 7300 MBps and writes near 6000 MBps on a PCIe Gen4 x4 platform.

What ships with the ZP1000GM3A013 and what must I source separately for a PS5 install?

The box contains only the bare M.2 2280 1TB module without a heatsink; Sony requires a compatible heatsink for PS5, so purchase one separately before fitting.

Which capacity of the FireCuda 530 series should I choose if I want the 1TB model with PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4?

Select the ZP1000GM3A013 part number — it identifies the 1TB capacity in the FireCuda 530 line with the Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface.
