The Kingston FURY Renegade is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in October 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Kingston FURY Renegade interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5018-E18-41 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Kingston has installed 176-layer TLC NAND flash on the FURY Renegade, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 730 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 1600 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The FURY Renegade is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s and 7,000 MB/s write; random IO reaches 1000K IOPS for read and 1000K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 425 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Kingston guarantees an endurance rating of 2000 TBW, a good value.
