Seagate has expanded the brand's SSD lineup with a new BarraCuda 530. The PCIe 4.0 SSD, which appears to be an upgrade over the BarraCuda 520, is an M.2 2280 drive that will compete with the best SSDs on the market.
While the 530 SSD is still a PCIe 4.0 x4 drive like its predecessor, Seagate has upgraded it to NVMe 2.0, a step up from the BarraCuda 520's NVMe 1.4 specification. Details are very slim now, since Seagate only recently listed the BarraCudea 530 on the company's website, without making a formal announcement. However, the SSD is likely using a Phison PCIe 4.0 SSD controller and 3D TLC NAND; we don't know the specific models yet.
