Kingston SFYR2S/1T0

FURY Renegade G5 1TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 solid state drive

By The Nate Meyer ยท Published

The Kingston SFYR2S/1T0 is a 1TB FURY Renegade G5 NVMe solid state drive designed for systems with an M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and communicates through the NVMe protocol over PCI Express 5.0. The drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 14,700 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 11,000 MB/s. Its 3D TLC NAND provides the flash storage media for operating systems, applications, games, and workstation data. Install the SSD in a compatible motherboard or system with adequate M.2 cooling. PCIe 5.0 performance requires a host slot supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 and current NVMe support in system firmware.

  • Requires a compatible PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for rated performance.

Which systems support the Kingston SFYR2S/1T0?

The drive is intended for desktop computers and workstations equipped with an M.2 2280 slot supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe storage.

Will this SSD work in a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot?

The SSD can operate through PCIe backward compatibility, but a PCIe 4.0 slot limits performance to the capabilities of the host interface.

What performance does the 1TB model provide?

The rated sequential performance is up to 14,700 MB/s for reads and 11,000 MB/s for writes.

Does installation require additional cooling?

PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives can produce substantial heat during sustained workloads. Use the motherboard M.2 heatsink or an equivalent cooling solution when available.

What firmware or drivers are required?

Install the latest system BIOS or UEFI and use an operating system with native NVMe support. Standard NVMe drivers are generally used.

Is the drive suitable for operating system installation?

Yes. The SFYR2S/1T0 can be used as a boot drive in systems whose firmware supports booting from PCIe NVMe storage.
