FireCuda 530R 1TB NVMe SSD

The Seagate FireCuda 530R ZP1000GM3A063 is a 1TB internal solid state drive built for consumer workloads. It uses an M.2 2280 form factor with 3D NAND TLC memory and a DRAM cache. The drive targets gamers and content creators who need fast, reliable storage.

PCIe 4.0 x4 interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe interface. Your motherboard must provide an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 to reach the advertised performance. Older slots will work but limit throughput to their own maximum.

1TB capacity with 1100 TBW endurance

The 1TB capacity holds large game libraries, project files and media collections with room to spare. Sequential reads reach 7400 MBps and writes reach 7000 MBps, while random 4KB performance hits 1,300,000 IOPS. The 1100 TBW rating and 1,800,000 hour MTBF provide headroom for heavy daily writes over many years.

Questions about this item

What does the 7400 MBps sequential read mean for actual game load times?

The 7400 MBps peak read speed feeds data to the CPU fast enough to cut level-load screens noticeably when the game engine can stream assets directly from the NVMe drive.

How does the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface limit real-world throughput?

PCIe 4.0 x4 caps theoretical bandwidth near 8 GBps so the drive's 7400 MBps read and 7000 MBps write sit at the practical ceiling of the link.

Will the M.2 2280 board fit my laptop slot without a heatsink?

The 2280 form factor is 80 mm long and the drive ships without a heatsink so it fits standard M.2 slots that have no extra vertical clearance.
