Kingston Fury Renegade G5 2TB Gen5 SSD Review

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs.. We are using v8.0.5.

With a read result of 95.95MB/s in the CrystalDiskMark 8 4K QD1 T1 test, Kingston's Fury Renegade G5 is in first place on the results chart. Its write score of 339.24MB/s is the fourth fastest we've seen in this test.

A glance at the benchmark result screens shows that we could confirm the official Sequential ratings of up to 14,700MB/s for reads and up to 14,000MB/s for writes, with test results of 14,765MB/s and 14,130MB/s for reads and writes, respectively.

That 14,765MB/s read result places the 2TB Fury Renegade G5 in first place on the results chart, the write test is also the fastest we've seen to date in this test.

Peak Performance profile benchmark

The 2TB Fury Renegade G5 is officially rated as up to 2,200K IOPS for random reads and random writes. Using the Peak Performance profile test of CrystalDiskMark 8, we couldn't get to those official maximums. The best read result we saw was 1,872,870 IOPS with the best write figure at 1,537,681 IOPS, which sees the drive in third spot on the result graph.


Once again, we could confirm the official sequential figures with Peak Performance profile test results of 14,757MB/s for reads and 14,136MB/s for writes.

Real World profile benchmark

The 2TB Kingston Fury Renegade G5 ‘s read score in the CrystalDiskMark 8 Real World benchmark sees the drive in a mid-table position, but its write test result of 11,192MB/s is the fastest we've seen to date in this test.
