Seagate FireCuda 530R ZP2000GM3A073 2TB internal SSD

SKU CH-RMKQ-0ARNV MPN ZP2000GM3A073

M.2 2280 internal SSD with built-in heatsink delivers up to 7400 MBps read and 6900 MBps write for gaming and content creation

  • Total capacity2 TB
  • Sequential read speedUp to 7,400 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUp to 6,900 MB/s
  • Interface typePCI-Express 4.0 x4
  • Form factorM.2 2280
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • Peak PCIe 4.0 speeds up to 7400 MB/s read for faster game loads
  • 6900 MB/s sequential write accelerates large-file creation workflows

Seagate FireCuda 530R 2TB M.2 SSD

This PCIe Gen4 internal solid-state drive combines 3D NAND TLC memory with a built-in heatsink in the M.2 2280 form factor. It targets enthusiast gamers and content creators who need sustained high throughput for large assets and fast level loading.

Ideal for PS5 expansion and high-end PCs

The drive suits PlayStation 5 owners adding storage and desktop builders with an M.2 slot that supports PCIe 4.0 x4. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will not reach the advertised sequential speeds, and laptops without clearance for a heatsink should choose a single-sided module instead.

Sequential read up to 7400 MBps

Rated maximum sequential read of 7400 MBps and write of 6900 MBps, with 1,300,000 IOPS random read and write, defines the performance ceiling for this model. Endurance is specified at 2400 TBW and MTBF at 1,800,000 hours, while active power draw reaches 8.6 W within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the M.2 2280 form factor with the built-in heatsink need in a laptop or motherboard slot?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 dimensions. The integrated heatsink adds height, so verify your device allows a double-sided module with a thermal solution before fitting.

Which screw length and standoff position secure the 2280-length PCB without stripping the thread?

Use the motherboard's M.2 standoff at the 80 mm mark and the supplied M2×3 mm screw; longer screws can damage the controller side of the board.

When should the heatsink's thermal pads be inspected or replaced to keep the controller below the 70 °C limit?

Check pad contact if sustained writes push temperatures toward 70 °C; replace pads only if they have compressed permanently or torn during a drive swap.
