Product Information

A Winning Duo Our FireCuda 520 and FireCuda 510 solid-state drives are built to provide you with more cores, more cache, more tech, and more I/O.

We supply the latest technology solutions to organisations of all sizes across education, public and private sectors, helping thousands of organisations along their own digital transformation journeys. Centralise Your BattleStation Level up your laptop gaming experience with FireCuda Gaming Dock � an elite 4 TB Thunderbolt 3 storage hub equipped with an array of ports and killer looks so that you can organise your space, connect your peripherals, and complement your rig. Here the drive falls right in line with its overall results from the PCMark 10 run, scoring comfortably above the Corsair MP600 and just slightly below the TeamGroup drive when launching Windows 10. This utility grants access to a number of functions including firmware updates, drive tests, SSD erasing, and cloning. Standard drives won’t help you level up because they aren’t made for the sustained abuse of top-tier gaming.While some drives, like the TeamGroup T-Force Cardea Zero Z440, come with a sleek, slim heatsink (in the case of the Cardea, a graphene/copper-based strip), and options like the Corsair Force Series MP600 have chunky, removable metal heatsinks mounted on top, the FireCuda 520 has neither.

Pair a 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor with the new FireCuda 520 to unlock true PCIe Gen4 speeds for the ultimate PC gaming builds. A Rescue Data Recovery Services plan is available for purchase when you register your FireCuda drive. storage is a nice incidental upgrade, but so far, it's not proving to be a strong singular impetus to build a new PC. drives we've tested, there's a clear ceiling on what's possible for the drive in sequential throughput, and our results mirror-reflect the drive's own ratings from Seagate.Launched to the first mainstream products in 2019 at the same time as the third generation of Ryzen desktop CPUs and the first AMD Navi-based graphics cards, PCIe 4. As I said above, PCIe 4 offers no advantage in seek times, which are largely a function of the controller and NAND in use. Both PC gaming drives are out-of-the-box compatible with the latest generation of powerful AMD Ryzen processors.
