Seagate Firecuda 530 500GB Gen4 M.2 SSD Main Picture


Seagate's Firecuda 530 Gen4 line of solid-state drives are blazing-fast storage devices. They are built for PCI-Express 4, which offers up to twice the bandwidth that PCI-E 3 provided, enabling much faster read and write performance. If you are looking for an entry-capacity drive, this 500GB model is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7.0GB/s and write speeds up to 3.0GB/s. Real-world speeds will be lower, though, and depend heavily on the application in use.
