Kingston Fury Launches 8 TB Renegade G5 SSD with Impressive Read Speeds Up to 14,800 MB/s

The Kingston Fury Renegade G5 8 TB SSD stands out in the storage market for its exceptional read and write speeds, providing ample room for data without sacrificing transfer efficiency.

Kingston Fury Renegade G5 SSD Launches with 8 TB Capacity; Achieves 14, 800 MB/s Read and 14, 000 MB/s Write Speeds

While a few manufacturers are promising lightning-fast read speeds approaching 14, 900 MB/s, such as Corsair with its recently launched MP700 PRO XT and TeamGroup’s T-Force Z54E, these models rely on Phison’s high-end E28 controller. Moreover, SSDs claiming read speeds of 14, 800 MB/s are also rare, particularly in larger capacities. For instance, although the Samsung 9100 PRO offers an 8 TB version with a read speed of up to 14, 800 MB/s, it limits its sequential write speeds to a maximum of 13, 400 MB/s.

This SSD asserts its capability by hitting impressive data rates of 14, 800 MB/s for reading and 14, 000 MB/s for writing. Designed for tech enthusiasts requiring substantial storage for expansive files like video games and high-resolution content, this addition to the Fury Renegade G5 series broadens options in high-performance storage.

Whether for work or play, users need more power and space,

We’re happy this 8TB addition to Kingston FURY Renegade G5 SSD can provide high-power users and hardware enthusiasts both.

Previously available in capacities of 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB, the Renegade G5 SSD line has expanded with the introduction of the 8 TB variant. Kingston had mentioned a November rollout for this model; however, specific pricing and availability details remain undisclosed, hinting at a likely premium price point. This SSD leverages a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and utilizes 218-layer BiSC8 3D TLC NAND technology to deliver its impressive capacity. Notably, it employs the Silicon Motion SM2508G controller, which touts improved power efficiency compared to Phison’s E28, although Phison has countered this claim, asserting their controller’s competitive edge.

Ultimately, both controllers offer commendable energy efficiency and high-performance transfer rates, solidifying the Renegade G5 8 TB as one of the first high-capacity SSDs to achieve such remarkable speed benchmarks. Kingston backs its offerings with a 5-year warranty across all Renegade G5 models, giving users added peace of mind.
