Not content to watch Samsung take all the glory, Kingston is reportedly working on a new drive that not only matches the Samsung 9100 Pro’s read speed, but beats its write speed, making it the fastest gaming SSD ever. According to a leak, the new Kingston Fury Renegade G5 can hit a sequential write speed of 14,000MB/s, which would make it the new king of this metric.
The best gaming SSD title currently belongs to Samsung, at least if you prioritize raw performance above everything else. In our Samsung 9100 Pro review, the drive hit a massive sequential read speed of 14,725MB/s, with the write speed peaking at 13,450MB/s, However, if the leaked claims are true, then Kingston is about to manhandle the crown off Samsung’s head, and it will be hard to push an SSD much further while using the 4x PCIe 5.0 interface.
