Seagate FireCuda 520 1TB SSD Review

Simon Crisp March 9, 2020 Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews, SSD Drives


Seagate quote the same 760,000 IOPS for writes and with our 4-threaded testing our results we even further away from the official figure than the read results were. The drive peaked at 181,645 IOPS and once again testing at a QD of 32 with 8 threads improved the figure to 477,643 IOPS, still miles away from the official maximum.

4K Random Write v QD Performance Comparison


At a QD of 1, Seagate's FireCuda 520 produces the fastest writes of all the drives tested but it drops away again as the QD deepens, however at a QD of 32 it rallies to sit behind the Patriot Viper VP4100.
