Kingston Technology has launched an 8TB variant for one of its best SSDs for gamers, video editors, or any other power user looking for plentiful fast storage. The new PCIe Gen 5 SSD joins the Kingston FURY Renegade line-up and offers up to 14,800/14,000MB/s read/write speeds – currently the fastest gaming SSD listed on its website. It’s now available to purchase in the UK, and should soon be available in the US, too.

The series, which launched earlier this year, has previously been available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes. However, if you don’t need the mammoth 8TB of storage, you’ll be happy to know that the smaller capacities currently have a price slash on Amazon.
