Manufacturer-identified specifications

Product / exact MPNSeagate FireCuda 530R 2 TB (ZP2000GM3A064)
Capacity / form factor2 TB; M.2 2280.
Interface / host lanesPCIe 4.0 x4; NVMe 1.4. Published maxima require the compatible host generation and lane configuration; an older or lane-shared host can negotiate lower throughput.
ControllerThe cited Seagate references do not identify a controller model.
NAND3D TLC NAND (manufacturer datasheet).
Sequential performanceUp to 7,300 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write. Vendor-rated figures apply under manufacturer test conditions, not as guaranteed sustained real-world results.
Endurance / warranty2,400 TBW; five-year limited warranty (manufacturer specifications).
Thermal packageOperating temperature: 0–70 °C (manufacturer datasheet). This is a bare M.2 module; allow airflow and use only a compatible host heatsink/thermal pad.

Firmware, host compatibility & thermal cautions

  • Check Seagate Support by the full model/serial number for any firmware or SeaTools guidance; do not install firmware intended for the older FireCuda 530.
  • Use a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe-capable 2280 socket to approach rated performance. Confirm host BIOS/UEFI boot support, lane sharing and heatsink clearance.
  • Check M.2 keying, slot length, single-/double-sided clearance, lane sharing, and system BIOS/UEFI support in the exact host manual; M.2 shape alone does not prove NVMe or boot compatibility.
  • Follow the drive and host maker’s heatsink and thermal-pad instructions. Keep airflow around the controller area, do not stack thermal materials or remove factory labels/cooling without explicit guidance, and expect sustained performance to vary with temperature and workload.
  • Shut down and remove standby power as instructed before installation; use ESD precautions. Back up data and retain recovery media and encryption keys before changing storage or updating firmware.
