The Seagate FireCuda 510 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2019. It is available in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Seagate FireCuda 510 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12-27 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Seagate has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the FireCuda 510, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 28 GB. The FireCuda 510 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,450 MB/s and 3,200 MB/s write; random IO reaches 485K IOPS for read and 600K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 364 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Seagate guarantees an endurance rating of 2600 TBW, a good value.

Notes

Drive:

The controller could have changed from E12 to E12S and some revisions are Kioxia 64L TLC (BiCS3) and not 96L TLC BiCS4.

Controller:

2 main cores using Cortex-R5 clocked at 667 MHz with CoXProcessor technology (one additional dual-core) Cortex-R5 clocked at a lower clock for better efficience.

NAND Die:

Read latency:
tR: 64µs (SBL)
tR: 80µs (ABL)
tPROG withoug Overhead: ~ 695µs (Avg) (~ 46 MB/s per die)
tPROG w/ ~25% Overhead: ~ 927µs (Avg) (~ 34.5 MB/s per die)
