We also realised that their own innovations in SSD is mainly on the enterprise segment, as seen in products such as the IronWolf 110 SSD. This can also probably help them to build a brand for themselves.
How did we know that? The Firecuda 520’s Datasheet said so.ĭespite having R&D capabilities in the SSD space, Seagate still sources third party solutions to meet consumer demands. It seems to a SSD controller from Seagate, but in actual fact, it is simply a rebranded Phison PS5016-E16. On a closer look, we saw that this drive uses a STXZPO10BE70 SSD controller.
While the SSD does not seem in any way different from other M.2 SSDs out there, the key for its high performance is its controller and NAND Flash configuration. The 500GB version only can reach a sequential read speed of 2500MB/s due to storage designs.įor our review today, we have with us the 1TB version. To reach the maximum performance limits of the drive, you should only go for the 1TB and 2TB versions. The Seagate FireCuda 520 SSD comes in three capacities. Can it really live up to our expectations? Is it really as fast as it claims? How does it compare to other SSD solutions out there? Read on to find out more. Claiming that this drive is able to reach speeds of 5000MB/s, we’ve got to put our hands on these SSDs and get a feel of it. Seagate’s FireCuda 520 PCIe Gen4 SSD offering has just been released for the Singapore market, even though it has been announced a year back. On the other hand, workstations owners who deem that having faster storage drives directly impact productivity, will likely be very interested in this class of SSD solutions as well. No doubt, there are always enthusiasts and gamers who only seek out for the best hardware components. It only covers a small fraction of the whole PC market, and therefore, these PCIe Gen4 SSDs which cater only to those who are on the platform, has yet to become a mass market product. This is likely because the only computing platform that supports the new standard is only limited to the AMD X570 based systems. When it comes to PCIe Gen4 based SSDs, there simply isn’t too many of them around.
