Overview
The FireCuda 540 is Seagate's answer to the PCIe 5.0 race, and it holds its own. 10,000 MB/s reads and 9,500 MB/s writes put it ahead of any PCIe 4.0 drive, though trailing the Samsung 9100 Pro in raw speed. What sets it apart: Seagate's 5-year warranty and 1,000 TBW rating for the 1TB model, which is strong for this tier. It runs hot, as all PCIe 5.0 drives do, but the included heatsink helps. Good for creators who want PCIe 5.0 without the Samsung premium.
