AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benchmarking Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. It uses incompressible data samples, which many drives struggle with, so results can be viewed as the worst-case scenarios.

AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

The Kingston Fury Renegade G5's read score of 6028 in the AS SSD benchmark sees it in first place in the results table. However, its write score of 6509 isn't as strong.
