Seagate FireCuda HDD 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD - 3.5 Inch CMR SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM 256MB Cache 300TB/year with Rescue Services (ST8000DX001)

2de keer gebeld met de klantenservice dat ik mijn product niet ontvangen heb en ze hadden een nieuwe opgestuurd maar die heb ik ook niet ontvangen

I installed it in my 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 (6-core) with Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter. Ive been using it for about 3 weeks, and so far Im happy with it. The speed doubled from the original 256GB Apple (Samsung) drive.

Excelente calidad de memoria. Muy rápida y confiable.

Facile à installé…

Muss man einfach haben, wenn man das Geld dafür übrig hat.

Worked like a charm!

I clearly got a dud. I might try again someday. Very disappointing. Especially since this is thought to be the best m.2 for ps5 you can get. I purchased the 2tb version and I paired it with the elecgear heat sink. Some people say that only the 4tb get the highest speed, nonsense I say. Theres plenty of people with the 1tb getting speeds of 6500mbs. Oh well good luck guys.

Essentially bought at a slightly premium because Seagate is a well-known name, and to avoid messing around retrospectively installing heat spreaders or thermal paste (the heat sink is preinstalled on this, unlike the Sabrent). Im slightly concerned that the heat sink seems to be a solid lump of metal rather than having any fins that would increase surface area (like the holes in the WD_BLACK, which doesnt come in 4TB, or the fins on the Sabrent which replaces the SSD compartment lid); Im sure itll be fine for distributing heat during bursty behaviour as a heat spreader, but Im not so sure itll make the best of the fan in continuous operation. However, Im no cooling engineer, so hopefully Seagate know what theyre doing. It seems to work, and installation was easy enough (once Id correctly interpreted the Sony instructions on how to remove the cover). Reviews imply that PS5 SSDs work fine without a heatsink, theyll just slow down (although I doubt its good for them to run hot), so fingers crossed.

Installation - Easy - thanks to PS5 expansion support.

I bought two 2TB Firecudas for my new machine build. In my BIOS, I put them into a RAID 0 configuration and they boot very well. Windows 10 installs and run very well from them. IoMeter with large sequential block IO and deep queue depth results in 6+ GBps. Very impressive! In the same machine, I also have two 2TB WD SN750 SSDs in a RAID 0 and they only get about 5.5 GBps with the same IoMeter test. The comparison is a little apples to oranges since 1) the Firecudas are low-level formatted in 512 block size, 2) the Firecudas are PCIe 4, 3) The SN750s are PCIe 3 and 4) the SN750s are low-level formatted in 4K block size. I have to wonder what the performance of the Firecudas would be if I have low-level formatted them with a 4K block size.
