Performance Result
2TB Kingston FURY Renegade G5 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD is powered by Silicon Motion SM2508 controller based on 6nm lithography. And using low-power DDR4 DRAM cache. Loaded with endurance (total bytes written) of 2 PB. And comes with 2,000,000 hours of MTBF. It is also backwards compatible with Gen3 and Gen4 systems. Lastly, it comes with 5-year warranty with free technical support as well.
Yes, CrystalDiskMark sequential Q8T1 test results are the same as official Kingston specs. 14,715 MB/s sequential reading and 14,104 MB/s on writing. As long as your devices support PCIe 5.0, you are good to go. It is backwards compatible with Gen4 slots too but performance will be lower (which is expected).
ATTO Disk Benchmark gives slightly lower performance but this is expected. Nothing special here.
Ultra-fast transfer speed up to 4 GB/s writing. G5 is loaded with a lot of cache buffer indeed. Lightning-fast transfer rate is what you will get. Period. Note – 80 GB file is being used here.
