Excellent for a PS5!

Was a bit skeptical about the transfer ratings when I got this for my new PS5... but man, did it blow me away! FO76 (PS4) took right at 1 minute to move from the stock internal drive to this Kingston (~84 GB). The first God of War (PS4) went in 38 seconds (~46GB). Granted this was a new and empty drive, so it will eventually slow down. But that is off to a GREAT start!This was the version with the heat spreader (not the full heatsink). Paired it with the Sabrent PS5 heatsink that replaces the PS5 expansion bay cover. Fits together nice and snug to pull the heat away more efficiently. Amazing combo... well worth the investment!

Kingston FURY Renegade - A Blazingly Fast SSD for a Reasonable Price

This is currently one of the fastest Gen 4, M.2 NVMe SSDs on the market and one that is reasonably priced. Early in November of 2023, these drivers were going for around $130 for 2 TB,. While Kingston is a well known name for mainstream RAM modules and a few gamers / performance kits, they aren't all that well known or new to the solid state drive market. However, while most of them were solid, middle of the road performers, the FURY Renegade is truly a performance monster. With Read / Write speeds up to 7300 / 7000 MB/sec and 1,000,000 IOPS, you can certainly do a lot worse for significantly more money. Very few drives from other manufacturers can put up such numbers, let alone for under $150. My only concern is with such performance comes heat and with heat come ... MoreThis is currently one of the fastest Gen 4, M.2 NVMe SSDs on the market and one that is reasonably priced.

This drive does not come with a heat spreader, just the metallic label / shield that offers little in heat dissipation. If your mainboard does not have dedicate heat spreaders, you may have to spring for aftermarket ones which can run anywhere from a few bucks for a simple cooling pad and aluminum finned sandwich design to really in-depth contraptions of Rube Goldberg-esque origins costing more than $30.

Review of Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink - PS5 Ready

Installed in secondary NMVe slot on Acer Predator Desktop PC.(Also the Acer suffers from low 4k read/writes on both slots.)3.63 TB usable space.CrystalDiskMark 8.0.5 x64Test: 1 GiB (x5) [D: 6% (208/3726GiB)][Read] SEQ 1MiB (Q=8, T=1): 6917.063 MB/s [6596.6 IOPS] < 1210.95 us>[Write] SEQ 1MiB (Q=8, T=1): 6512.593 MB/s [6210.9 IOPS] < 1284.49 us>(at 3% disk usage 7038.78 & 6559.47)To get the most from this drive it would benefit from being installed in the primary NVMe slot.

Very Fast SSD and Good Upgrade

Kingston FURY Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD is a top tier and good upgrade to any setup. I thought I had no need for more speed until I found out what real speed can be like. This SSD is definitely fast with up to 7,300MB/s read and 7,000MB/s write and 1,000,000 IOPS . It is 12 times faster than my previous SSD that used the SATA interface and is a noticeable upgrade to my laptop. I have never used a SSD that uses NVME and was eager to try it out with the FURY Renegade to see how different the technology is. I am not sure how much difference the low profile graphene aluminum heat spreader really makes to keep it cool but so far I haven’t experienced any noticeable heating issues. I have only used it in the cooler moderate temperature but perhaps I will see a ... MoreKingston FURY Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD is a top tier and good upgrade to any setup.

It is 12 times faster than my previous SSD that used the SATA interface and is a noticeable upgrade to my laptop. I have never used a SSD that uses NVME and was eager to try it out with the FURY Renegade to see how different the technology is. I am not sure how much difference the low profile graphene aluminum heat spreader really makes to keep it cool but so far I haven’t experienced any noticeable heating issues. I have only used it in the cooler moderate temperature but perhaps I will see a difference in the warmer summer months when overheating does become more of an issue. This is a nice benefit though as I have a thin laptop and I do worry about overheating with the decreased air space and flow.It was easy to install with just one screw after sliding one edge into the M.2 PCle slot at an angle. The tricky part was making sure not to drop the screw into the laptop. It was a little scary making sure I didn’t touch anything unnecessarily or press down too hard but it was very simple and not difficult. It just requires being careful.The SSD is packaged inside a plastic blister pack that is sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard glued together. I appreciate that it is relatively environmental packaging with minimal plastic but it is not frustration free. You have to cut open the cardboard and it was hard to figure out the right place to cut it. The blister pack is not sealed or attached. The SSD fell out of the plastic shell as soon as cardboard was cut open. Luckily it was not damaged but I would suggest extreme caution when opening.The SSD does come with Acronis cloning software if you do not have your own software to transfer your data from your old drive. The activation key is printed inside the front portion of cardboard right above the plastic holding the SSD, so be very careful when you open the packaging. I luckily cut right below the activation key. I would suggest cutting the back piece of cardboard to avoid accidentally cutting through the activation key.After installing the Fury Renegade, programs opened and ran a lot faster. Photo and video editing was smoother. Gaming was more enjoyable with less lag time. It was a fast and easy way to upgrade my computer. Such a high level advanced upgrade was not necessary for my set-up but I like that I can also use it in a PS5 and future laptops without being dated for many years. Overall, the Fury Renegade SSD is one of the most advanced and fast SSDs on the market and did not disappoint.

Very fast and reliable

Kingston is a very reliable brand and I have used their products for years. This ssd uses an M.2 connection, which means it'll work in a multitude of different devices. This comes with a built in heat sink which helps with heat dissipation. This will help with the longevity of the device and keep it going longer. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that needs one in their pc, laptop, or even their ps5. It's easy to install, just plug and play on most devices. At most you'll have to remove a screw to install this ssd. Afterwards the software should take care of the rest. With it's ease of installation and ease of use I would definitely recommend this SSD.

Works great and easy to install

This is definitely needed if you have a PS5. It comes with its own heatsink so its super easy to install. All you need is a screw driver. I popped open my PS5 and unscrewed the cover where the drive goes. Just pushed the drive into place and that's it. It fits perfectly in place. Just a quick plug and play. Turn your PS5 back on and it will ask you to format the drive. Once that's done I was able to install my games to the drive with ease. It only took less than 10 min for installing. After installing a couple games, I tried it out and everything worked perfectly. This is a fast drive and there was no issues with loading th games from this SSD. Great product!!
