Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB SSD (with heatsink) Review

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.

Using the CrystalDiskMark 8 4K QD1 single thread test, the drive scores of 83.25MB/s (reads) and 251.61MB/s (writes) are good enough to put the drive into the top five in our results chart.

The CrystalDiskMark default set of tests confirms the official maximum Sequential read speed of 7,300MB/s with a test result of 7,385MB/s (7,448MB/s using the 0 fill tests) however, the write result of 6,907MB/s is a wee bit shy of the official 7,000MB/s.

Officially the 4K read/write performance of the 2TB version of the Fury Renegade is rated as up to 1,000,000 IOPS for both. As you can see from the benchmark result screens of CrystalDiskMark 8's Performance Profile test we couldn't get close to that figure with best result figures of 667,476 IOPS and 545,103 IOPS for reads and writes respectively.

The CrystalDiskMark results may be way short of the official maximums but the read result of 667,476 IOPS is the third fastest we've seen from a 2TB consumer Gen 4 drive.

Using the default Real World profile set of tests the drive produced a read score of 4,648MB/s with writes at 5,824MB/s.
