Seagate FireCuda 530 with Heatsink

Overall, the FireCuda 530 is the fastest SSM of all in the test. The only thing it lacks is a heat sink.

The Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB ignites the data turbo in the test and relegates our previous test models to the lower ranks. With uncompromising read and write performance - even in the continuous write test - the SSD raises the bar a bit. The storage capacity of 2,000 GB is also more than generous for an NVMe SSD. The price is perfectly acceptable for the performance offered.

During daily typing, you should hardly notice which SSD is in the PC - the Transcend PCIe SSD 112S is fast enough for that. Only if you frequently move large amounts of data is it worth investing in a faster SSD. In this category, PNY XLR8 CS3140 and Seagate FireCuda 530 are very similar and the benchmark results are hardly different...
