Kingston FURY has introduced the Renegade G5, a new PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD that is clearly aimed at users who want to get the highest performance out of their systems. Whether high-end gaming, data-intensive workflows or demanding creative applications – this SSD promises maximum performance in the smallest space and is currently one of the fastest storage solutions available in the consumer sector.
With speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and an advanced thermal design, the Kingston FURY Renegade G5 sets new standards in data storage.
- Extreme transfer rates: Up to 14,800 MB/s read and 14,000 MB/s write
- Massive IOPS performance: Up to 2.2 million IOPS for lightning-fast accesses
- Thermally optimized design: 6nm controller and energy-saving DDR4 cache
- Capacities up to 4 TB: Ideal for large game libraries and work projects
High speed without compromise
At the heart of the Kingston FURY Renegade G5 is the Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, which is manufactured using the 6nm process. This modern architecture not only enables extremely high transfer rates, but also ensures improved thermal management and increased energy efficiency. The SSD achieves sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 14,000 MB/s respectively – that is more than twice as fast as many PCIe 4.0 solutions.
The random access performance is also remarkable: with up to 2.2 million IOPS, the Renegade G5 is ideal for data-intensive applications such as large databases, real-time video editing or modern AAA games with extremely short loading times. This is supported by a DDR4 DRAM cache, which acts as a buffer and efficiently absorbs performance peaks.
Sophisticated hardware design for demanding systems
In addition to performance, the SSD also impresses in terms of thermal stability. The combination of a power-saving controller, integrated buck IC for voltage regulation and a 12-layer board ensures consistent signal quality, minimal heat generation and optimum data integrity. This makes the Renegade G5 particularly interesting for systems with little air circulation or compact builds.
The M.2 2280 form factor guarantees easy integration into modern mainboards, while backwards compatibility with PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 is also interesting for users who have not yet upgraded to Gen5. The SSD is also DirectStorage-compatible, which brings noticeable loading time advantages for supported games, especially in combination with Windows 11.
Variants and technical details at a glance
The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 is available in three storage configurations – 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB – and therefore covers a wide range of applications. The service life of the SSD is also impressive: the 4 TB version offers up to 4 PB TBW (Terabytes Written), with a typical power consumption of just 0.27 watts in idle mode.
| Model | Read / Write | IOPS (4K random) | TBW | Power consumption (max.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 TB | 14,200 / 11,000 MB/s | 2.200.200 / 2.150.000 | 1.0 PB | 6,6 W |
| 2 TB | 14,700 / 14,000 MB/s | 2.200.000 / 2.200.000 | 2.0 PB | 7,0 W |
| 4 TB | 14,800 / 14,000 MB/s | 2.200.000 / 2.200.000 | 4.0 PB | 9,5 W |
The SSD comes with a 5-year warranty and Kingston’s proven technical support – an important factor for professional environments and enthusiasts looking for long-term stability.
Conclusion: Maximum performance for modern systems
The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 is currently one of the most powerful PCIe 5.0 SSDs on the market. It combines impressive speed with a sophisticated thermal design and is suitable for gaming, content creation and professional workloads. With capacities of up to 4 TB and a robust feature set, it is a future-proof investment for demanding systems.
