The moment of truth: Workstation
Finally, we compare the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 in real applications. These tests were carried out on my test bench and the ASUS B850E after the description. In both cases with comparable results.
Here, the G5 beats all other SSDs, in some cases by an extremely wide margin. Unfortunately, I can’t compare my results with Igor’s because he uses a different version of SPECwpc.
The same picture emerges for write performance: The G5 comes out on top by a wide margin.
Summary and conclusion
The Kingston Fury Renegade G5 is a PCIe 5.0 SSD with up to 14.7 GB/s read and 14.0 GB/s write. It relies on the modern Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, 218-layer 3D TLC NAND from Kioxia and LPDDR4 DRAM. It delivers top results in the benchmarks and clearly outperforms all PCIe 4.0 SSDs I have tested so far – well, with PCIe 5.0 this was to be expected. After filling up to the capacity limit, the performance on my test bench dropped noticeably, I can no longer understand why. It has obviously recovered.
The Kingston Fury Renegade G5 impresses as one of the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs currently available with enormous transfer rates, strong gaming and workstation performance and modern features. The drops in performance measured in the test can probably be attributed to my specific test setup and do not represent a general disadvantage of the SSD. Overall, it remains a high-end drive that is very good in almost all scenarios.
Anyone who compares the synthetic test results of Igor’s PCIe 5.0 SSDs with the G5 will surely agree with me. The current price of 199.90 euros for the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 2 TB PCIe 5.0 SSD is quite justified, especially since the Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB (PCIe 4.0) costs almost as much. The market competitors (PCIe 5.0) that Igor has tested so far are usually 20 to 30 euros more expensive. So if you are looking for a really solid and damn fast SSD, you should definitely put the G5 on your wish list.
The SSD was provided to me by Kingston without obligation – for testing purposes. There was no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish by Kingston or anyone else.
