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.

Pros

  • + 8 TB storage space
  • + very high data rates for writing and reading
  • + Stable performance under load
  • + LPDDR4 DRAM cache
  • + Free Acronis True Image
  • + 5-year warranty

Cons

  • - no cooler included
  • - at least passive cooler required
  • - very expensive

Summary The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 is a robust PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD that delivers on its promise of extreme speed and, importantly, manages its thermal profile exceptionally well. While its IOPS figures didn’t quite hit peak theoretical numbers, its sequential throughput, real-world file handling, and remarkable temperature control make it a strong contender for high-performance systems.

Pros

  •  Achieves very high sequential read and write speeds
  • Demonstrates efficient handling of typical file copy operations
  • Maintains relatively low operating temperatures even under load
  • Particularly fast write access times
  • Good DRAM cache maintains consistent performance
  • DirectStorage support future-proofs the drive for upcoming games and applications
  • 5-Year limited warranty

Cons

  • Actual IOPS performance fell short of the advertised
  • Carries a higher price tag compared to other PCIe 5.0 SSDs
