FireCuda purchase checklist
Four checks before buying the SSD
Verify the family
Do not let FireCuda 530, 530R and X1070 collapse into one listing. The R suffix, X1070 name and exact SKU are part of the purchase identity.
Match capacity and cooling
A 1TB listing is not interchangeable with 2TB or 4TB, and factory-heatsink SKUs should be compared separately from bare M.2 versions.
Check the M.2 host
Confirm an M-key PCIe NVMe slot, intended PCIe generation and physical clearance. A compatible Gen3 slot can run a Gen4 SSD at the older link ceiling.
Protect warranty eligibility
Keep proof of purchase and verify seller, region and manufacturer terms. Warranty and Rescue services are not a substitute for backups.
