Customers are saying

Customers praise the FireCuda 530 2TB SSD's ease of installation and use, along with its significant storage expansion for gaming. Many appreciate the noticeable performance improvement it provides for the PS5, and the included heatsink is also frequently highlighted as a positive feature. While some comments mention a lack of lag, this was not a widely discussed aspect.

    I was so excited to get this , installation was perect. The ps5 installed it asap . Transfered games to new hard drive with no problem , then played them . 2 days later went to play a game and the ps5 would not reconize the hard drive . So I transfered everything back to ps 5 hard drive and games played perfectly . I'm sure this a great hard drive this one must have been a fluke . Just warning you to be careful when purchasing !

    Worked fine for ~40 days, then Windows threw a drive failure warning and would no longer mount. When I pulled the drive, it was other worldly hot, but I hadn't been using the drive at all before this.

    Had this SSD for only 5 months before it broke. I put my PS5 in rest mode and it crashed overnight. Next day I tried reformatting the SSD twice and both times crashed the PS5 at 13%

    Get the Samsung

    This SSD is a lot more expensive than competitor ones, and for me it did not reach the advertised speed. I'm at around 6300 despite it advertising 7300/6900. Maybe the PS5 is inaccurate or it is limited by the hardware in other ways, but what's the point of paying more for a faster SSD in theory if it can't even reach that speed in a benchmark? Too late for me to swtich, but I'd just recommend getting something cheaper like the Samsung and just call it a day.

    Just installed the 2TB version and I'm disappointed in the read speed - only 5,565. Manufacture date of 5/22 so I would think it is updated for the latest firmware.

    Bought this for my PS5, took less than 5 minutes to install and it's super fast. Glad I waited for this one, heat sync built in so makes it even better
