Kingston Fury is the latest brand to announce and release a large-capacity SSD geared for high-performance gaming and storage solutions, with the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 8TB SSD. Kingston Fury is following in the footsteps of other top-tier brands that have launched their own 8TB Gen5 SSDs of late, including Western Digital with its WD_Black SN8100, and Samsung’s 9100 Pro, the latter of which was released just a couple of months ago.
Although Kingston Fury and its Kingston Fury Renegade line of memory and storage technology products are geared towards gamers and high-end gaming PCs, you can still use them in any PC setup you want. Even if you don’t play games and you simply need a high-performance SSD. This can serve that purpose and give you lots of storage capacity on top of that.
The Kingston Fury Renegade G5 8TB SSD isn’t yet available at most online retailers
Kingston says the drive is available, but looking at Amazon, Kingston’s own website, Walmart, Newegg, and others, the 8TB model isn’t available or even listed as an option. Amazon has the 8TB capacity listed, but it says currently unavailable. You can, however, get the 4TB models pretty much anywhere, including on Amazon. And with Amazon being the only place where we could find the 8TB model listed, this might be the place to buy it if you’re in the market for an SSD with this much storage space.
As for cost, Kingston Fury doesn’t mention a price, but most 8TB models of any Gen5 SSD from competing brands have been available for around $999.99. So, expect the Fury Renegade G5 8TB to be about the same price. With a heatsink, if there will be one offered, it might cost a tiny bit more than that.
Outside of a large 8TB capacity, if speed and performance are something you seek, the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 can certainly provide both. With read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s, you’ll be able to blaze through file installations and transfers like there’s no tomorrow. Load times for games will be a breeze as well. It’s worth noting that you’ll want to make sure your system can support Gen5 SSD speeds before going with something like this. You can use the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 in a system that isn’t Gen5, but you won’t get the maximum speeds.
