This is how the Kingston Fury Renegade SSD transforms your PlayStation 5: speed, space, and a premium level.

When you buy a PlayStation 5, your first impression is one of amazement: the speed of the internal SSD is impressive, games load in seconds, and everything feels fluid. But over time, an unavoidable reality sets in: games weigh over 100 GB each, and those 825 GB of the console start to fall short. That's where the Kingston Fury Renegade comes in, an SSD that not only solves the space problem, but does so with style, cutting-edge technology, and performance that even surpasses the original PS5 drive.

The first thing to say is that this SSD is easy to install. You don't need to be technical or waste time: just open the side cover of the console, remove a small screw, insert the module, and in a matter of minutes it's ready to use. The console recognizes it immediately, asks to format it, and measures its speed , which in my case was over 6,500 MB/s. To understand what this means, consider that the PS5's internal SSD is around 5,500 MB/s. The Fury Renegade reaches 7,300 MB/s sequential read and 6,000 MB/s write speed on the 1 TB model, making it not only a valid option but also superior in performance.

Another detail worth highlighting is its compact size. This SSD is in M.2 2280 form factor, which means it measures just 22 mm wide by 80 mm long. It fits in the palm of your hand, takes up no space, and can be taken anywhere. It's a discrete yet tremendously powerful component. Kingston also offers it with an integrated aluminum and graphene heatsink, specifically designed to keep temperatures under control during long gaming sessions. This is essential because an SSD running at this speed requires efficient heat dissipation to avoid losing performance due to heat.

In terms of durability, the Fury Renegade also plays in the premium league. The 1TB model guarantees up to 1,000TB of total writes (TBW), which equates to years of intensive use without worrying about failures. In the 2TB and 4TB models, that figure doubles and quadruples, which speaks to Kingston's confidence in its product.

And what changes in practice? Basically, everything becomes more convenient. Installing a 100GB game no longer means waiting forever, moving titles from internal storage to the external SSD is a matter of seconds, and loading times within games remain as fast as with the original SSD. In some cases, it even feels more responsive when jumping between open worlds or starting games in heavy titles. But most importantly, you no longer have to delete your favorite games every time you want to try a new one.

The Kingston Fury Renegade is, without exaggeration, an investment that transforms the experience of owning a PS5. It's a small, easy-to-install accessory with a clever design and performance that not only meets, but exceeds, what the console itself comes with out of the box. Above all, it offers peace of mind: more space, more speed, and the certainty of having a premium product that's built to last.
