Kingston has just given PC enthusiasts a huge performance and capacity boost with the introduction of an 8 TB model to its Kingston FURY Renegade G5 line of SSDs. This latest drive is optimised for those who demand a system that can truly keep up with their intense workflow or demanding gaming needs.
Blistering Performance and Endurance
The new Kingston FURY Renegade G5 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD packs some serious speed, thanks to the latest PCIe Gen 5 x4 controller and 3D TLC NAND. This combination delivers extreme performance without sacrificing endurance, meaning you get a drive that’s both fast and reliable for the long haul.
Here are the key speed specifications:
- Read Speed: Up to 14,800 MB/s
- Write Speed: Up to 14,000 MB/s
- IOPS: Over 2 Million
More Space for Games and Media
With the new 8 TB capacity, users can now store more of their favourite games and media without having to worry about losing system responsiveness. This is a game-changer for high-capacity users who are tired of juggling installations.
Keith Schimmenti, SSD business manager at Kingston, commented on the new addition, stating:
“Whether for work or play, users need more power and space. We’re happy this 8 TB addition to Kingston FURY Renegade G5 SSD can provide high-power users and hardware enthusiasts both.”
What We Think
The launch of an 8 TB PCIe 5.0 SSD is exactly what the top end of the PC market needed. While the initial drives in the Gen 5 space were blisteringly fast, the higher capacity options often lagged behind. With speeds pushing towards the 15,000 MB/s mark and a massive 8 TB now available, Kingston is offering a drive that truly caters to the most demanding creators and gamers who want zero compromise on either speed or storage. It’s a premium product, but one that delivers on its promises. Check out our full review of the 8TB drive here.
