Kingston FURY Renegade G5 NVMe SSD: Unleashing PCIe 5.0 Speed
Kingston is ratcheting up the storage with its latest addition: the FURY Renegade G5 NVMe SSD. You gamers and anyone whose PC needs blazing-fast storage will be interested in this new drive, featuring an M.2 slot and PCIe 5.0 support.
What's Under the Hood.
So what drives this SSD. Kingston has built the FURY Renegade G5 with TLC 3D NAND memory cells as its base. Behind the performance is a 6nm Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, which maximizes the potential of four PCIe Gen 5 lanes. This translates to some seriously impressive speed figures:
- Maximum Read Speed: Up to a blistering 14,800 MB/s
- Maximum Write Speed: Up to a rapid 14,000 MB/s
It's also worth noting that these top speeds are for the heavy 4-terabyte model. Kingston will also offer 1TB and 2TB models, so you can pick the one that best suits your needs and budget.
A Cache for Consistency and a Note on Cooling
Another pleasant feature is the inclusion of an energy-efficient DRAM buffer (DDR4). This cache provides smooth and consistent performance, especially under heavy loads.
One key point for prospective buyers: although the drive has a stated temperature limit of 70°C, a heatsink is not included in the package. This implies that you will have to budget for your own cooling solution to maintain the FURY Renegade G5 at its best, particularly under heavy use.
Stay Tuned for Pricing and Release
And as for when you can get your hands on one and how much it's going to set you back, Kingston isn't spilling that bean yet. Price and eventual release date of the Kingston FURY Renegade G5 will be made official at a later time. Coming right up.
