When it comes to SSD reviews there is no need to look anywhere else. Your work is the best Nada, thanks for what you do!
Agreed.
Agreed
Couldn't have said it better
Charts and charts. Agreed.
Agreed
Thanks for all the SSD testing, it's hard to find good datasets across brands like this
Thank you for your reviews. I upgraded my motherboard after years and finally got an M.2 slot. Your videos helped me and I finally decided to get the Fury Renegade as it is about 40 dollars cheaper than the 990 Pro and 20 dollars cheaper than the SN850X. Thank you for the detailed reviews!
Love the work on comparison and real world application. Clear and concise yet agin. Such great info for pc enthusiasts to use. Thank you
Just crazy how much value for the money this ssd provides.
I got the 2TB model for the equivalent of 130 USD in Norway.
The price for hardware here is almost always atleast 25% higher and often more than that for hardware so I was impressed by the pricepoint.
I want to add my voice to the chorus as this is now the channel I default to for SSD reviews and also watch your excellent GPU reviews. Concise, informative and lots of bar graphs, I love bar graphs. :D This is the SSD I ended up picking for my build as it was the only 4TB high end available and I am avoiding getting the 990 this time around. Glad I made the right choice.
This channel is pretty underrated.
Your content is often relevant to me and is presented well with objective metrics along with suitable subjective opinion.
Appreciate the review!
Thanks for continuing to do these reviews as they're extremely helpful to see where everything stacks due to the wide variations that have been happening in price.
Would love to see Solidigm P44 Pro/SK Hynix P41 hit your test bench as they're both the same base SK Hynix controller/NAND.
Thank you! And I'd love to but I haven't found them for sale in the EU. And Hynix at least seems impossible to get a hold of in general.
Bummer I was hoping the availability on the Solidigm might be better as I know the SK Hynix branded ones are very limited.
Thanks very much for your knowledgeable no nonsense reviews. Highly appreciated!!!
We have been waiting for this review since months ........THANK YOU.
Just installed one of these after seeing it priced reasonably around the time your review came out. I'd forgotten I watched this so I was glad I was under the influence of Tech Testers, as I remember I switched my initial choice seeing the listing.
Congrats on 250k subscribers!
Very helpful review, as always.
Thanks for this concise test! Would love for you to include a power efficiency part too
Thanks for all the SSD testing!
My pleasure! 😎
You helped me a lot for this buy im going to do! Thanks..subscribed 🎉
Great informative review, earned a sub :)
Glad you think so, thanks!
Got the 4tb model yesterday for 350€ after my 9 month old 2tb XLR8 CS3140, my first non-Samsung SSD, died. Pretty decent price for the performance and seems to work well. Better than my previous one in fact.
I agree with the others. This channel has the best and most consistent testing of ssd/nvme on the internet. It is my go to for all things computer related.
What a lovely voice! Thanks for all the useful News! 🙂
I've installed two of these (one is 1TB and the other is 2TB) at the weekend, really great SSDs. Price was similar as the KC3000.
I bought a used HP ZBook 17 G5 which holds 3 M.2s and 1 2.5 drive. Also got 64 gigs of Kingston ram. This 1TB drive is currently $92.00 for me in NJ and using her link I just bought the last one. ;-))
Nice review Thank you! just got confused for a second there at 6:40 (where HyperX and Kingston Fury Renegade) got mixed up.
I use a KC 3000 ,I won't to buy another KC 3000 but now after this review I want a renegade.
Thanks you make a good job hear❤
What's your reason
Thank you for this review. I picked the SN850x for a system after watching some of your reviews. I know the Samsung 990 was near or at the top in your testing, but I did not want issues with the device being destroyed by bad firmware so I decided to avoid Samsung entirely. I will see how the SN850x drive holds up.
Been a few months. Any updates?
Great review!
Thank you
Just got this past week Samsung 990pro 1T for 110$! Great deal.
Definitely will not note any difference from this top ssds but sure made me happy.
But your Samsung is made in China, so I would not buy it. Crucial made in Mexico, WD in Malaysia, others in Indonesia, Kingston in Taiwan. At I got the Fury Renegate 1TB for 75,- incl shipping.
I grabbed a kc3000 for 113! 2TB
Thank you very much! Very helpful!
Nice video again Nada 🤩
Thank you 😁
Love that sweater
Thanks for the informative video and i decide this will be my choice of ssd for my pc upgrade later (from my all HDD). Kingston fury renegade would be best value purchase in my country compare to wd and samsung
I got the 1TB version a few months ago and it's amazing.
Coming from an old system with hdd and sata ssd.
Now i need a 2 or 4TB one that maxes out the second, pcie 3.0 slot, voor weinig. :D
Hello madame, I have a question, I got a macbook pro recently and I would like to have a 4 TB external SSD and I am actually thinking to use this specific NVMe drive but I would like to know which enclosure would be adequate for it to not have any bottle necks when transferring data. What I am trying to say is that I want to know which enclosure will keep the speed and performance of this drive to use with Apple computers. Best regards.
Thansk for the rewiew, this drive is now cheaper than WD 850X, so I decided Kingston Fury will be in my friends new PC 👍
What do you think about the SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB I've been hearing it's pretty high end and preforms well but I hardly seen any reviews on it as in depth as the ones you do, and if you personally don't think it's a good deal what would you recommend in it's place
It would be nice to have some web page with all the tests with filter for All/SATA M2/SATA 2.5"/NVME PCIE3/NVME PCIE4. It's impossible to find comparison between specific drives such as WD Blue SN570, Samsung 870 Evo Plus and ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO to see how much I'm losing by saving some money and how they compare to one I already have.
I was looking at this SSD or Solidigm P44 pro as well! Solidigm looks very interesting though, would love to see a review of it!
I'll see what I can do :)
@@TechTestersthe solidigm synergy software should be taken in consideration since the tool + the standalone driver promises a new perspective on how software support should facilitate SSDs. Very looking forwoard in this channel to test the p44 pro with sinergy
Thanks Nada 😊
Kingston is back with Fury!
As always a great video. I already have Fury Renegate 2Tb and I'm getting additional ones: Renegade 1TB and KC3000 1TB, so I'll be happy to check in my free time if these results will be confirmed for me :P
Thanks for review.
My pleasure!
Got my Fury Renegade 2TB in a prime deal for only 105€ a few months ago (instead of ~130€). Compared to the current 980pro (170€) and the 990pro (175€) prices its an amazing deal imo. Defo check ur local offers!
Very nice nail polish 👍
What should I go for? The Kingston fury renegade in 2tb or the Samsung 990 Pro in 2tb both for ps5 and both have the same price point for me
Estou sem palavras de tão impressionado com a qualidade do seu vídeo. Nuuuuuuh! Técnico, objetivo (impessoal e baseado em análises e dados investigativos), bem direto ao ponto (cada segundo valia a pena, cheio de informações realmente interessantes), você é muito eloquente (fala muito bem), e ainda por cima fez uma edição bacaníssima mostrando até o que eu queria ver dos chips de DRAM do SSD. Cara, você mostrou até a latência dos chips de RAM dele. Você deu uma lavada em vídeos internacionais, mano.
Meus mais sinceros cumprimentos pelo excelentíssimo trabalho. 🫱🏽🫲🏻
i was confused between kc3000 and 980 pro with 980 pro 15$ expensive than kc3000. Which one should i choose?
I am thinking about Kingston fury regenade 2T heatsink, is good choice for PS5 right ??
You're my favourite reviewer these days! ❤
Love how many different tests you do on SSD's to see how they perform in various situations.
Curious though why I'm not seeing any testing done on Seagate Firecuda drives. Are they not sold in the Netherlands?
They are, and the Firecuda 530 was included in the roundup (and is included in an upcoming one). I just filter some drives to keep the graphs easier to read and the FC530 just didn't stand out in some interesting way.
But I'll reconsider that choice for future ssd reviews, I've heard the same comment a few times already :)
As a gamer there is no need to look anywhere else than the SN850X which got pretty affordable quickly. Thanks for letting us know all that! 😊
nope , you get the same performance on the Kingston fury without the high temperature generated on SN850X and better life span , you get what you pay for.
@@HH-CA really? I'm choosing between Kingston fury renegade, 990 Pro and SN850X at the moment and the Kingston is at least £40 cheaper than the other two..
@@jamieclarke2694 What did you get?
@@youngmoney2264 Nothing yet I'm waiting a couple more months I got 7200mhz RAM instead lol
i really wonder how well those "Creator focused" SSDs by teamgroup would perform on your tests, a 2TB, 3600 TBW, 2GB DRAM cache, 5GB/s read SSD for $130 sounds really enticing for PC (sadly not fast enough for the PS5).
This looks like the BEST price to performance gen 4 ssd right now, looking at prime day deals. I'm snapping the 1TB capacity for 78 euros
48.25€ plus shipping depending on country was the prime day price...
@@lkz depends on which country. ended up buying a 2TB Sk Hynix P41 for 99 euros
This SSD is awesome. It is very fast. But, is it true that because of its power consumption it can not be used in an external Case via USBC ?
What program do you use for testing real world speeds?
Why no firecuda present in ratings?
I just got it on sale for 125$ Perfect Drive for my PS5
Finallyyyyyyyyyyyy THANK YOU
For some reason the samsung 990 pro costs 10$ less than the fury in my country.
But im not able to find the 990 pro in stock 😢
I work mostly with CAD, photoshop and 3d modeling.
Do you think the fury would be a good suite for me? Knowing that im not able to get my hands on a 990 pro
I can't think of any realistic use case the Fury wouldn't be 100% fine for tbh.
@@TechTesters awesome. Thanks :)
Would you recommend this m.2 for 3d modeling?
Does the 2TB and 4TB version of the SN850X have a different controller or memory compared to the 1TB version? I see that in the specs it has slower read & write speeds (both sequential & random IO).
Higher capacity drives has more nand chips so they can work in parallel. Thats why they perform better
Same controller, different memory layout so (very slight) performance differences. I have a video on capacity impact if you like.
I need some help, the sn850x is 10 usd more expensive than the kc3000 while the fury is right in the middle between sn850x and kc300 being 5 usd cheaper than sn850x, which one is the best option? It’s either sn850x or kc3000. Should I spend the extra 10 usd for sn850x? Is it worth it? Or is the kc3000 good enough?
The chances of you noticing a difference between the KC3000, Fury Renegade and SN850X are close to zero.
Hello and thank you for the informative video. I have a question about the PCMark Consistency stress test. I know you said it does not apply for majority of users, but under what real life practical situation does this test mimic? For example, if I game for long hours? Or if I game for long hours while transferring files and streaming at the same time? Does it measure the longevity of the drive in normal conditions?
Gaming for hours doesn't really stress the SSD at all. You'd need to really hammer the drive with lots of reads/writes over such long periods that it's hard to call out any real workload tbh. If you're gaming for hours, transfering for hours, and streaming/recording/video editting at the same time, sure :P
That kind of test matters more for servers, if you use an SSD as a cache drive then it can see heavy workloads so the drive has to be chosen for consistency even if you're willing to replace it after a relatively short deployment.
Just got a 1TB Fury Renegade and seems like it doesn't have a temp sensor for the controller? Hwinfo64 reports only drive temp 1 (supposedly NAND) and drive temp 3 which is usually the controller but it's stuck at 35c for this drive, bit frustrating but I put a Thermalright HR09 Pro heatsink on it just to be safe, getting up to 35c ambient on a few days here and I wanna make sure it's cool even when it's super hot and fans are running slow
I don't remember off the top of my head where the sensor is. Either way with any mid-size heatsink you'll be fine though.
HELLO, I HAVE MSI KATANA GF76 12UE-055, I WANTED TO KNOW IF THE KINGSTON FURY RENEGADE 2TB SSD IS COMPATIBLE WITH MY NOTEBOOK MODEL, BECAUSE THE KINGSTON FURY RNEGADE 2TB SSD IS DOUBLE SIDED, THE SSD ALREADY ASSEMBLED FROM THE FACTORY IN MY NOTEBOOK WAS SINGLE SIDED WHICH WAS JUST 512 GB, I HAVE INSTALLED DOUBLE SIDED KINGSTON FURY RENEGADE 2TB, WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE SYSTEM AND WORKED WELL WITH HIGH SPEED OF 7000 MB READ AND WRITE,BUT I REMOVED WITH THE FEAR THAT IF I MAY HAVE THE PROBLEM FOR THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE MOTHERBOARD AS IT IS DOUBLE SIDED SSD ,CAN YOU ADVISE ME THAT IF THE KINGSTONE FURY RENEGADE 2TB DOUBLE SIDED SSD IS COMPATIBLE WITH MY MODEL? THANK YOU
The most wanted!
wondering if it runs cooler under a heatsink if you remove the thin heat spreader or leave it on. just curious
Might do, but with a heatsink it's fine either way.
hello, want to buy my first nvme, and interested with this one.
but i read in one forum that this brand have a very big failure rate for ssd. is that true?
want to know your perspective for this, and is fury renegade still a good choice after nearly one year?
I honestly don't know anything about RMA rates. I definitely haven't heard a lot (or any tbh) others mention issues with the Fury Renegade, so I'd personally not worry too much about it. No matter what you buy though, any SSD *can* break and you always need backups.
What is the best board, ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero and ProArt X670E-CREATOR to work on the 3d max vray program, the processor used is the ryzen 7950x?
Both are "good", pick which features you need.
Thank you for all your great content, just a curious question regarding consistency test, based on drive size 1tb or 2tb does the consistency result varies? If so then how much percent any guesses?
Thanks! I actually have a video of the impact of capacity on my channel :)
Just bought one a couple of hours ago for $96 for the 1TB version. I am currently going from a 860 evo SSD to this :p
Nice Video
Ben je Nederlands?!?! Sowieso geen last van Steenkolen-Engels dus haha. Bedankt voor de review, het heeft voor mij de keuze gemaakt om de 990pro en 980pro te vervangen gezien die hele commotie met Samsung en hun firmware problemen
Why is the Seagate Firecuda 530 absent from all the graphs in all your SSD videos??
The sn 770 too
I filter some drives that don't add anything relevant to keep the graphs easy to follow. The FC530 is in an older roundup, and will be included again soon.
I put the system on this beauty (1TB). Great performer, finally some reasonable alternative to Samsung.
Hi Nada, (wat ben ik blij dat je geen tandarts geworden bent 😂). Anyway, I'm planning to upgrade my current PC to be used as an Audio-Studio / Graphical computer. This means that I need to upgrade (replace) my Motherboard, CPU and Memory. These components are currently the bottleneck in my system. This is the reason I found your channel. I might as well boost my startup / performance by buying an M.2 as boot device but... I'm glad I watched this video because I found out Kingston's flagship isn't compatible with my current MB (MSI B250M VD Pro). So I'll have to postpone this investment to a later date also. I'll be checking your channel to gather the best components for my future upgrade mission. In the past you already gave me some great advice about the "Vector RS" Case which I bought and still is a great (future proof) case. Let me end with giving you a huge compliment about your knowledge, your presentation / studio setup, and viewer support. You give my a secure feeling when I need information about Pc parts I'm going to invest in, in the near future (eerst ff sparen). Keep up the good work and I'll know how to find you (your channel) if I need advice. Have a great day😉.
Great video ✌🏼
You mentioned it’s worth considering for a PS5, would an additional heat be required or would the fitted graphite heat spreader be sufficient?
Haven't tested it personally if you absolutely need it, but I would just spend the ~8-10$ and avoid any issues.
@@TechTesters yes I will, just wasn’t sure wether to order at the same time but yes defo good idea 👍🏼
Hello. Tell me, it's better to take it with or without a radiator for the msi z690 edge motherboard with standard radiators.
Does the KC3000 need a heat sink? If yes, why don't they do it...
What about the inland gaming performance plus
can you test Lexar Professional NM800Pro 2TB because it by what I see it's similar in performance compared to fury renegade but so is 250S from their pages
I'll try to grab one :)
So what will be your ultimate work / Windows SSD? [no gaming just pure program loading, things like opening web browser with 1000+ tabs]
I'm still happy with my 3.5 years old nvme SSD from Silicon Power (512GB; 3400/2300MB/s).
Booting a Xubuntu VM from the SSD or from OpenZFS memory cache, I only see a 1.5 seconds difference (8 secs vs 6.5 secs boot time). My CPU is a Ryzen 3 2200G with 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz). I have the feeling that the lz4 decompression of the VM-OS takes the most time. Windows is ~5x slower.
To speed up the Win boot time, I probably need e.g a Ryzen 5 5600G instead of a faster SSD, besides my B450 motherboard only supports a Gen3 SSDs.
Thank you.
my pleasure :)
Do you think prices will drop even further or is it really time to buy now? Ik wil de 4TB versie.
Hard to say. Prices have gone down constantly for a while, but you never know.
I like your sweater
Thanks :P
omg ik heb deze al zeker 6 maand, beetje laat met je review
I saw all your videos :) But in your opinion what is the best ssd m2 1 tb for gaming and normal use of the pc?
Depends on the price. I'd look at this one, 990 pro, SN850X, KC3000 or MP600 Pro LPX if the price is right. Otherwise, look at P5 Plus or Sabrent Rocket +. But again, it all depends on the price.
Hello :D I know it's been almost a year but is this still a good option? I'm planning to replace the stock ssd from a HP Victus 15 😃
Absolutely
@@TechTesters alright thanks🙏
Thank you for this information video. I just needed this video as i was getting confused between fury renegade, kc3000 and sn850x where i live their prices are fury 165.88usd, kc3000 151.11usd and sn850x 193.79usd please tell me which is best to for gaming, programming and normal daily life usage.
With those prices I’d take the
Kc3000
I want to use this in ultrabook like galaxy book 3 pro, will temperature be OK??
Usually is unless you really start stressing your drive, then any Gen4 will struggle in any laptop.
What is the sustained speed this SSD?
For gaming and temp (stock dissipator)Best Renegade or w.d. sn850x ??? Thanks...
Both great. Id pick the cheaper one.
@@TechTesters on lenovo legion 7i notebook with stock heatsink (slim) for which temperatures will stay cooler?!?many thanks
Any ways to find driver for old Win10 edition like 10240?
Doesnt it just work?
Just bought the 1tb version for 100$ us. I find the price very good.
creo que por fin me decidi por uno gracias
Hope I helped! Enjoy
i just installed a 4tb version of this
i dunno why i'm watching a review after buying it, but here we are
Have you tested any Gen 5 m.2 drives yet? I couldn't find any on Amazon :(
One of my most recent videos. And more are on the way :)
Why u stopped taking Segate Firecuda 530 in comparison chart in all ur new videos nowdays
My thoughts exactly!
I cut a couple of Gen4s a while ago to not crowd the graph. The FC 530 didn't really stand out in some meaningful way and it was generally quite expensive so it was one of the ones cut. But given the number of comments about the 530 I'll reconsider that :)
It'll also be included in an upcoming larger roundup again as well.
@@TechTesters I m watching ur videos from long time & u made me fall in love with Firecuda 530 😍& i bought one 😅& it never stand out in my experience.
@@TechTesters It's currently 170€ for the 2TB version in my country (France), making it the cheapest top tier gen 4 drive on the market right now. In fact it's been competitively priced for a long time now.
It might not particularly stand out in 3D Mark (why show just this benchmark?) but it excells at pretty much everything else. Much longer lifespan than all the drives on the chart, best write speeds on the market and still very much top tier in general.
Which SSD cooler do you use for your tests?
An overkill copper block.
Hey guys whats the best SSD to get for the PS5?
My sister TBW matters the most to us creators where we put copy and delete number of huge video files everyday.
6:25 In my system ultimate PC Gaming with Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB has with Samsung Magician about 6987 MB Sequential read also 5147 MB write with the lastest firmware still Kingston has to improve to beat Samsung NVME these tests results depends on each system upgrade and driver versions do not take 100% as reference might still be surprise there !
I purchased the kc3000 1tb
when i didnt see renegade was going for $7 more (my fault)
Now if i return the kc3000 it will cost me 8$ extra
So should I return my kc3000 and get renegade? I will ultimately have to pay 18$ more for it (instad of only $8 i could have paid if i paid attention)
my usage is just windows boot os, gaming, geforce experience running in background whole time, and thats it
(yes I have a heatsink on my motherboard)
For that purpose there is no real benefit tbh. Keep the kc3000 and the 18$ :)
Depends on what you need. There is 1 thing not mentioned here is the user available capacity. Your Kingston KC3000 gives you 1024GB of space, Fury Renegade will give you 1000GB of space. That is because the Fury Renegade sacrifice the extra capacity for overprovisioning, therefore you see a higher TBW endurance rating. Their hardware is exactly the same, firmware is different.
