Samsung 9100 PRO NVMe SSD Review: Blazing a New Speed Trail

So much speed, but I have no way to take advantage of it.

All things considered, the FURY Renegade G5 SSD is in a class of its own. The closest comparison is Samsung's 9100 PRO SSD, which matches the read speed of the Kingston but falls short in write speed (Samsung also boasts a slightly higher TBW than Kingston, though the difference is negligible).

As for whether this drive will provide real-world performance gains—well, the short answer is "no, not unless you own a state-of-the-art rig." If you stick the FURY Renegade G5 in a PCIe Gen 4 slot, you'll get PCIe Gen 4 speeds. And even if you've got a compatible system, your CPU may present a bottleneck in tasks that require a lot of processing, such as gaming.

So, if you can't afford an insane "end game" PC rig, skip the FURY Renegade G5 and buy a good PCIe Gen 4 drive instead. You'll save a lot of money in the process.

The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 SSD is available today with prices starting at $204. Drive capacity options are currently limited to 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB, with the highest-capacity model clocking in at an eye-watering $604.

The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 SSD boasts sequential read speeds of 14,800MB/s and write speeds of 14,800MB/s, making it one of the fastest NVMe M.2 drives available today. That said, you'll need PCIe Gen 5-compatible hardware to really take advantage of this drive's capabilities.
