The Kingston Fury Renegade G5 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on April 1st, 2025. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 interfaces using a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2508 from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache chip is available. Kingston has installed 218-layer TLC NAND flash on the Fury Renegade G5, the flash chips are made by Kioxia. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 5.0 interface, performance is excellent. The Fury Renegade G5 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 14,200 MB/s and 11,000 MB/s write; random IO reaches 2200K IOPS for read and 2150K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Kingston guarantees an endurance rating of 1000 TBW, a good value.

Notes

Controller:

This controller features a Quad-core Cortex-R8 running at 1.25GHz as primary cores, while having a Cortex-M0 as a secondary core for peripheral.

NAND Die:

This chip is comprised of 8 physical planes (sub planes) with 8KB WLs working as 4 logical planes to keep short BL and WL latency.
tPROG: Could be between 312µs and 624µs
