Seagate - FireCuda 530 4TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe with Heatsink for PS5
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 4000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 7300 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 6900 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: M.2 2280
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen 4 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Product Manuals
Q: Does this work with the ps5
A: Yes. This is currently the best ssd money can by, as of summer 2021. It is faster than the Samsung 980 pro, which has been proven to be even faster than the ps5 internal ssd. In other words, games you run off of this drive will load quicker and stream textures faster(and with less stuttering). The firmware update for ps5 hasn't happened yet. Also of note, ssd's come out all the time. Pcie gen 5 comes out in November. Samsung is said to be working on a gen 5 ssd. They just established the standard for gen 6. Tech is moving very fast. This is indeed the latest and greatest, but it likely will be beaten by November by another drive, in terms of speed. Another thing to note; most drives don't come in 4tb, especially the fastest ones. If you want all that storage, it's probably a good buy. If you only need 2tb, then I would say not to rush into things, because faster drives could be available by the time this is even officially implemented on the ps5. I signed up for the beta firmware and didn't get it. I know you didn't ask for all this, but maybe it will help someone who has the same question. I certainly wouldn't mind one of these bad boys in my PC. or in my ps5.
A: Newegg has it coming out in a few days. It was an August date, possibly the 31st
Q: When is best buy going to get more of these. I want one for ps5.
A: It is available right now 9/29 for the moment, I just got one.
Q: Will this fit into a Dell XPS 15 9560?
A: No idea bought it for the os5 since it came with a heatsink your motherboard needs a m.2 ssd slot and it will fit recommend looking at the manufacturers site for dell to find out
A: I agree with this. But if the items you've been looking for has no stock in their store, their associates can help you order the items and have it delivered to your doorstep free of charge.
A: Yes. Fire cuda SSD is the fastest SSD. You can get it’s the best of the best. The best money can buy.
Q: When will these be available again?
A: Never. Worst buy has no clue how to keep anything in stock..
Q: Will an 8TB version of this be coming out? Or are there other ones out there that work with a PS5?
A: Right now only up to 4TB is available to work with the PS5. I bought this one for about $100 more than it is right now. Great value for excellent quality plus it includes the heatsink. Installation was easy. Hope this helps.
