Key Specifications

Extreme PCIe Gen5 Performance

Powered by the Silicon Motion SM2508 controller built on 6nm lithography, this SSD achieves up to 14,200MB/s read and 11,000MB/s write speeds. The 12-layer PCB design ensures superior signal quality and data integrity, while maintaining consistent performance under heavy workloads. Random read/write performance reaches 2,200,000/2,150,000 IOPS, making it ideal for gaming, video editing, and data-intensive applications.

Advanced Thermal Management

The Renegade G5 incorporates a low-power DDR4 DRAM cache that reduces heat and energy consumption. Its sophisticated thermal design, featuring independent Buck IC for consistent power draw, keeps the drive cool during extended gaming sessions or intensive workloads. This ensures reliable operation without thermal throttling, even under maximum load.

Compact M.2 2280 Design

The slim M.2 2280 form factor easily slots into most modern motherboards without requiring additional power cables or brackets. Backwards compatibility with PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 systems provides flexibility for upgrades, while the 22mm x 80mm footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained builds.
