At COMPUTEX 2025, Kingston’s showcase wasn’t just about faster SSDs or newer RAM modules—it was about how these technologies are already being deployed across demanding fields such as AI data centres, gaming rigs, mobile workstations, and even aerospace. From blisteringly fast PCIe Gen 5 SSDs to compact, power-efficient memory modules, Kingston appears to be covering every base where data matters.
“At Kingston, we don’t just anticipate the future, we help build it,” said Kevin Wu, Vice President of Sales/Marketing and Business Development, APAC. “From powering AI servers to supporting aerospace innovations, Kingston’s memory and storage solutions are enabling the breakthroughs of tomorrow.”
Here’s a closer look at what Kingston brought to the table in Taipei this year.
Kingston FURY Renegade G5 PCIe Gen 5 SSD
Headlining the consumer-facing product range is the new Kingston FURY Renegade G5 SSD, a PCIe 5.0 NVMe drive aimed at users who live and breathe high-performance computing. Whether you’re rendering high-bitrate 8K footage, loading massive game assets, or running AI workflows on the edge, this SSD promises to keep up. It delivers sequential read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds reaching 14,000 MB/s. The drive is available in capacities of up to 4 TB and uses an M.2 2280 form factor. To handle sustained workloads, it features what Kingston called an advanced thermal design that ensures consistent performance even under stress.
This places the FURY Renegade G5 among the fastest client SSDs available in the market, rivaling even some enterprise-grade storage in raw throughput. The fact that Kingston managed to keep thermals in check while pushing the limits of PCIe Gen 5 makes this launch particularly relevant for gamers, content creators, and performance enthusiasts building next-gen rigs.
Kingston DC3000ME SSD
On the enterprise side, Kingston introduced the DC3000ME SSD, a U.2 form factor drive designed specifically for data centre workloads and edge computing use cases. Built on PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0, the DC3000ME is engineered to deliver I/O consistency and low latency even under the heaviest loads. It boasts sequential speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s and supports up to 2.8 million random read IOPS. This SSD is available in large capacities including 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, and a massive 15.36 TB, making it suitable for high-density deployments in AI servers and hyperconverged infrastructure environments.
This drive is aimed at organisations that demand consistent and predictable performance from their storage backbone. Whether it’s powering machine learning models or hosting critical databases, the DC3000ME appears to be well positioned for high-performance enterprise deployments.
Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM
Memory isn’t just keeping pace—it’s racing ahead. Kingston’s additions to the FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM family now supports speeds up to 8800 MT/s, making it the fastest DRAM module the company has released to date. These modules are available in configurations up to 96 GB, and they’re aimed squarely at high-performance desktops and gaming PCs that require exceptional memory bandwidth.
This new DDR5 module is a clear nod to enthusiasts and professionals looking to squeeze out every last drop of performance, especially in applications where bandwidth is king—such as simulation workloads, high-resolution media editing, and AAA gaming.
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 CAMM2
One of the more technically intriguing launches were the additions to the Kingston FURY Impact series of DDR5 CAMM2 modules. Built to support dual-channel memory in a more compact form, this module caters to high-performance laptops and workstations where space is limited but capacity and speed are critical. The CAMM2 design enables lower power consumption than traditional SODIMMs while supporting capacities of up to 128 GB.
By adopting the CAMM2 standard, Kingston is not only improving power efficiency but also opening doors to sleeker designs and improved thermal characteristics in mobile systems.
Kingston DataTraveler Exodia S USB Drive
On the portable storage front, Kingston refreshed its DataTraveler line-up with the new Exodia S. While not the most headline-grabbing of products, it’s designed to appeal to everyday users needing fast, reliable data transfers. The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and comes in capacities of up to 512 GB. It’s housed in a compact and durable body with a cap that swivels, making it suitable for general-purpose use such as schoolwork, media sharing, or backup on the go. While the Exodia S doesn’t break records, it offers a reliable option for those who still rely on physical transfers—whether that’s for fieldwork or simply carrying data between systems.
Future-Forward
From the bleeding edge of PCIe 5.0 speeds to memory form factors tailored for future laptops, Kingston continues to show an understanding of where computing is heading and how data will move in that future. With their motto “Built on Commitment”, the company is sticking to a familiar playbook: consistency, innovation, and an eye for application-ready performance. And as AI workloads, data centre needs, and gaming performance demands continue to rise, Kingston looks ready to deliver the memory and storage solutions that power it all.
Computex 2025 is running from Tuesday, May 20 to Friday, May 23, 2025 and Digit will be on ground covering COMPUTEX 2025. Head to Digit’s Computex 2025 Hub to see the latest announcements from COMPUTEX as they happen.
