Kingston FURY Renegade SSD 4TB, M.2 2280 / M-Key / PCIe 4.0 x4, Kühlkörper, bulk

Als bisherige Vertreterin Kingstons für den High-End-Bereich konnte die KC3000 uns zuletzt im Review durchaus überzeugen. Doch der genutzte Phison PS5018-E18 war dabei noch nicht einmal ganz am Limit dessen, was seine Spezifikationen zulassen. Diesen Schritt geht Kingston nun bei der FURY RENEGADE, dem neuesten Top-Modell des Speicherspezialisten. Ob sich die Mehrleistung im Alltag zeigt und der Vorteil zur KC3000 ausgespielt werden kann, klären wir wie gewohnt in unserem Review.

The FURY Renegade line of Gen4 SSDs by Kingston is among the best lines this market has to show in terms of PCIe 4.0 connectivity and so there’s not much else for me to say. Almost excellent performance however is not the only thing you’re getting, endurance/durability and cooling efficiency (for the heatsink variants) are just as important and Kingston (or more accurately PHISON in regards to the controller used) doesn’t disappoint. Yes, PCIe 5.0 Gen5 models might be faster overall but due to persisting temperature related issues they are still not quite ideal for very heavy workloads and this is where models like the FURY Renegade could shine. My sole concern much like with most SSD models out there by the majority of companies is available capacities and with more and more consumers requesting 8TB models even the 4TB variant seems lacking (hopefully this will change soon). At this time the FURY Renegade 4TB (heatsink) PCIe 4.0 Gen4 SSD by Kingston retails for USD376.02 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 381.52Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is more or less the same as its immediate competition. Long story short the FURY Renegade 4TB PCIe 4.0 Gen4 SSD should be plenty even for very demanding users not only due to its near-excellent performance but also its heatsink and impressive endurance numbers and so the Platinum Award is once again in order.
