These Phison E18 chipsets are known to have degradation issue or premature dying. Seagate still hasn't released a firmware fix.

Thanks! Everyone should be aware of these issues.
Most people use CrystalDiskMark and think their drive is fine, but this writes a fresh file for the test. You need to test the read speeds of old files with a different utility like "SSD Read Speed Tester."
These have a super high TBW rating and I found a "great deal," so I bought 2 4TB drives on ebay last year - completely unaware of the controller issue. Expensive mistake since I can't return them. One has been completely fine, but I noticed some slowness and the life on the other dropped to 98% after only a week with only a couple TB written when it was in a ZFS pool in my NAS. I reformatted and put in a gaming PC that only runs a few hours every few days. Oldest files are a year old and there is no read degradation. I'm holding onto the drives hoping a firmware update soon arrives, but this is Seagate after all.

So what you're saying is they are knowingly selling a defective product? Their should be a crime.

periodically post something on seagate's socials when they post promos, to not abandon their customers of the firecuda 530 that has a known slowness bug with an available firmware fix that seagate hasn't packaged a year later. companies social teams hate it when you call them out on socials and they then ask the support guys wth.

I believe you are referring to the 530. The 530R here is supposed to have resolved those issues.

nope same chipset. and nothing resolved.

"Technology: What's new with the FireCuda 530R?
Externally, there is little change between the FireCuda 530 and the FireCuda 530R, except that in our case the FireCuda 530R comes with an aluminum heatsink pre-assembled.

The controller is still a PS5018-E18 chip from Phison"

Even if product is defective they have to move inventory. It's no different from Intel selling defective CPUs.

So,
Seagate fixed the problem by adding a letter?

This sucks! I have this drive. Wish I would have done a search for issues before buying one. It's still new, haven't put an OS on it yet. It's the 2TB 530R that I have.

The R stands for "no Refunds"
