Product details
Performance has a new name: FireCuda 540 SSD. This PCIe Gen5 SSD offers uncompromising speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s, surpassing Gen4 by 50% and being 17 times faster than SATA SSDs. The DirectStorage API ensures shorter load times in games and applications. With a total write endurance of at least 2,000 TBW, this SSD is designed for demanding continuous operation. This SSD is not for the faint of heart.
The PCIe Gen5 interface has been optimized for DirectStorage, enabling performance of up to 10,000 MB/s and 1.5 million IOPS.
Faster. Faster. Faster: Up to 50% faster data transfer than PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs and up to 17 times faster than SATA SSDs.
Built for durability: A TBW of up to 2,000 TB means you can overwrite up to 1 TB of data daily for five years (based on a 2 TB capacity).
Ready to use: Plug-and-play compatibility with most PCIe Gen5 motherboards and backward compatible with PCIe Gen4.
Latest hardware: The integrated E26 controller has been tested by Seagate and delivers stunning PCIe Gen5 speeds to your PC.
Gaming and content creation at a professional level: The DirectStorage API ensures shorter load times in games and applications.

Reviews & Ratings

- Excellent performance
- Slightly cheaper than the PCIe 5.0 competition
- Excellent TBW rating and guarantee
- Somewhat slow during our 450 GB write process
Although it's not the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSD we've tested in synthetic benchmarks, the Seagate FireCuda 540 came out on top in our real-world 48GB transfers. That makes it a top choice.
Among the 2.5-inch SSDs, the Samsung 870 QVO took first place with very high speed and very good programme acceleration. This also applies to the first-placed PCIe 3.0 SSD: The SK Hynix Gold P31 not only took the test victory, but also the price-performance victory. The Samsung 990 Pro did the same with the PCIe 4.0 SSDs: It also achieved the test and price-performance victory here...
