Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB SSD (with heatsink) Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

In the 4K random read test the drive's performance climbs steadily until it reaches QD16 where it peaks at 409,265 IOPS, it then begins to plateau out finishing the test run at QD32 with 408,124. Both of these figures are nowhere close to the official maximum of 1,000,000 IOPS.

4K Random Read v QD compared.

In comparison to the drives around it, the Kingston Fury Renegade seems to handle the 4K read tests better at lower queue depths.
