Kingston will soon be joining the Gen5 SSD market with the introduction of its new Fury Renegade G5 SSD that will feature up to 14.8GB/sec reads and up to 4TB capacity.

In a new post from VideoCardz, we're learning that the new Kingston Fury Renegade G5 Gen5 SSDs will feature up to 14.8GB/sec (14,800MB/sec) reads and up to 14GB/sec (14,000MB/sec) writes, with up to 2,200,000 IOPS performance. There will be no 512GB variant, with Kingston only releasing a 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB G5 SSD... no 8TB option in sight unfortunately.
Inside, Kingston's new Fury Renegade G5 SSDs are using the Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, which is based on a 6nm chip and uses 3D TLC NAND technology.
Kingston's previous-gen Gen4 SSDs in its Fury Renegade family are getting a double up in read/write performance (for the 4TB model, anyway) with IOPS performance skyrocketing by 2.1x to 2.2x, while power consumption is lower at 9.5W for the new G5 Gen5 SSD, compared to 10.2W on the Gen4 G4 SSD.
Kingston details its new Fury Renegade G5 SSD:
- Extreme PCIe Gen5 speeds: Take control with cutting-edge PCIe Gen5 x4 speeds up to 14,800/14,000 read/write and up to 2,200,000/2,200,000 IOPS performance.
- Advanced thermal design: Designed with the Silicon Motion SM2508 controller based on 6nm lithography which allows for better thermal management, low-power DDR4 DRAM cache providing less power consumption, independent Buck IC for consistent power draw, and a 12-layer PCB for enhanced signal quality and superior integrity.
We don't have any more information like a release window or pricing for Kingston's new Fury Renegade G5 SSDs, but I'm sure we're not too far away from that. Additionally, we've also got Computex 2025 coming next month... where I'm sure they'll be ready to go.
