Seagate Releases PS5-Ready FireCuda 530 SSD in India

Seagate is releasing its FireCuda 530 NVMe SSD in India which, thanks to its PCIe 4.0 transfer speed of 7300 MBps, will be a prime candidate for PS5 owners looking to upgrade their console storage. Seagate has also confirmed that the drive with its heatsink can fit in the PS5’s expandable SSD bay without hassle. Of course, those who wish to upgrade their PS5’s storage will have to first install the beta firmware until Sony officially releases it.

The drive is built with a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND, along with being available with a heatsink variant designed by EKWB as well.

“We had an exciting challenge to design a custom heatsink with the objective of having both form and function – a product that was low profile for tighter builds but also provided thermal management, while maintaining the sleek design that both Seagate’s FireCuda line and EKWB are known for,” said Kat Silberstein, Chief Executive Officer, Americas, at EKWB. “The open, collaborative spirit of Seagate and EK is what has allowed the FireCuda 530 to really sing.”
