The number of PCIe Gen 5 SSDs continues to grow while prices for the new drives continue to tumble, making it easier than ever to outfit our systems with the latest and greatest storage. Now, Kingston’s flagship Fury Renegade G5 drive is finally becoming more affordable and is well worth a look for your next upgrade.

“For gamers, enthusiasts and high-power users seeking extreme performance.” – Kingston
On Amazon US, you’ll find Kingston Fury Renegade G5 for as little as $164.99 for the 1TB model, netting you a 19% ($39) saving relative to list price. Should you want larger capacities, check out the 2TB version for $239.99 complete with a 27% ($90) discount. Finally, there’s also a 4TB variant for $439.99, available at a reduced price of $439.99, down 30% ($190).
Of all the options, I’d go with the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 2TB. It’s faster as well as better value per terabyte than the 1TB alternative, and the SSD isn’t nearly as expensive as the 4TB model, balancing value and cost in a pleasing manner.
Kingston Fury Renegade G5 is capable of sequential read and write speeds up to 14,800MB/s and 14,000MB/s, respectively. These specifications make the SSD one of the fastest on the market. It’s only ~100MB/s shy of matching the speediest driver out there, but it’s honestly difficult to notice such differences in real-world use.
Whichever capacity you choose, every Kingston Fury Renegade G5 comes with a five-year warranty for peace of mind. For those endurance rating nerds out there (I see you), the drives should last 1,000TBW per terabyte of capacity.
