sorted byThis list shows the 530 being faster so I think 530 is the better one
Actually if you go on pcpartpicker and search them both then scroll down a bit it shows benchmark results so you can compare both there (edited)
That confuses me, Firecuda's are known for their incredible endurance and that is barely average.
I know that's also what it says on the Seagate site but I'm sure that's an error on their part.
The TomsHardware review states it has a 3,600 TBW, which is what you would expect.
In fact every review states the same thing!
I'm 99.99% certain it is in fact 3600 TBW on the 2TB.
EDIT:
Here you go, two different Seagate product data sheets taken directly from links on their site that both show the 2TB having 3600 TBW -

This isn't an old unreliable Seagate spinning HDD from 15-20 years ago, time has moved on.
I wish people that didn't know what they are talking about would refrain from commenting.
Can't see any reason why you would get this
