Good7/10Mid-range

Seagate is mainly a hard-drive brand; its FireCuda SSDs perform like other drives on the same Phison platform. The bundled data recovery service is a genuine extra, but the drives rarely stand out on price.

Good at

FireCuda 530R and 540 are competent Phison-based drives
Five-year warranty on FireCuda NVMe models
Data recovery service bundled with many FireCuda drives

Weak at

Usually priced above identical Phison-based rivals
Small SSD range next to its hard-drive lineup
Budget BarraCuda SSDs are unremarkable
