The Kingston Fury Renegade G5 with 8 TB impresses in the test with outstanding overall performance and is one of the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs currently available. With sequential read and write rates of over 14,000 MB/s, the top model achieves top values in CrystalDiskMark. The SSD is also extremely stable under continuous load: in the diskspd loop, the performance remains constant over the entire test period, and thermal throttling does not occur in our test scenario. However, this requires the use of a powerful heat sink to exploit the full potential of the mass storage even under continuous load. Overall, the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 presents itself as a powerful NVMe mass storage device without any significant technical weaknesses. However, the price of the 8 TB version, which is clearly in the high-end segment, must be viewed critically. Cheaper alternatives such as the equally powerful Kingston KC3000 offer lower transfer rates, but with around 7,000 MB/s, they also deliver high performance at a significantly lower price.
