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

I love it. Took less than 5min to install. I transferred data from my PS5 console HD to this SSD and it only took minutes. Very quick.

Easy to use . Nice and fast

Just put this in my PlayStation 5 and it’s running like never before, everything is crisp and clear !

NVME drives are fantastic and this one is no exception. If youve never used an NVME stick then youre in for a huge performance increase. I work on large gaming projects and use version control that needs to look over every file before I submit. Doing that on my old spinning drive took about 15 minutes. On this stick it takes under 1.

For my preliminary assessment I used an ineo technology enclosure attached through my Thunderstick port on an Asus Republic of Gamers laptop with an i7-6700HQ cpu @ 2.6 GHz running a Win10 Home operating system. I then used CrystalMark software to measure the performance of the original installed 1Tb HDD C drive and the SSD 2 Tb Firecuda mounted in the enclosure. The original HGST 7200rpm drive was pretty darn slow. Sequential read was about 111 Mb/s and sequential write was about 106 Mb/s. Random 4k file reads were 0.7 Mb/s and 0.83 Mb/s for writes. In comparison the Firecuda was 1,026 Mb/s and 999 Mb/s for sequential reads and writes, respectively, and more amazingly the random 4k files reads were 144 Mb/s and the writes were 136Mb/s. Pretty impressive numbers for a drive attached in an enclosure! The firecuda got warm. but not hot during testing. Npw the difficult decision I have is whether to keep the Firecuda for fast backups of data or replace my original HDD with it. Or maybe just get another Firecuda.

no need to find another cooling material, just insert to PS5, turn on the console and format this SSD in very fast time, all games installed to this SSD is fast and play the games with zero problem occurred.

I paid for the one with the heat sync. The one I received did not have a heat sync. Amazon is swapping it for me one for one - no issue there, just a few days wait - BUT, if I hadn’t noticed, I could have fried my SSD and PS5.

Died after six months...
