Seagate FireCuda 530R ZP4000GM3A073 4TB internal SSD

4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe with heatsink

The Seagate FireCuda 530R ZP4000GM3A073 is a 4TB internal SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor. It uses 3D NAND TLC memory and a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface to reach sequential reads up to 7400 MBps and writes up to 6800 MBps. Random performance hits 1,300,000 IOPS for both read and write workloads. A built-in heatsink helps sustain those speeds during extended sessions.

Suited for gaming rigs

This drive targets users who need high throughput and endurance for large game libraries, video editing or 3D rendering. The 5050 TBW rating and 1,800,000-hour MTBF back heavy write cycles. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or lacking space for an 11.10 mm tall module will not realise the full benefit and should consider alternatives.

4TB capacity with 5050 TBW endurance

Four terabytes holds dozens of AAA titles, raw footage archives or virtual-machine images with room to spare. The 5050 TBW rating provides ample headroom for daily project files and frequent game installs. Workloads that sustain multi-terabyte writes every day — such as continuous database logging or 24/7 video capture — will approach the endurance limit faster than typical consumer use.
