The new flagship Kingston Fury Renegade G5 SSD offers 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.

As for pricing, the new Kingston Fury Renegade G5 Gen5 SSDs are available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities with pricing of $200, $329, and $629, respectively.
