The Kingston Renegade G5 is Kingston's Gen5 drive. It is PS5-compatible, but the console runs it at Gen4 speed, so its Gen5 headroom is unused in the bay. For the PS5 the Gen4 FURY Renegade or a value drive gives the same in-console result for less.
What the Kingston Renegade G5 offers for the PS5
The Renegade G5 targets high-end Gen5 PCs and is sold with a heatsink. Inside the PS5 it drops to Gen4 link speed like any Gen5 drive, so the console never sees its peak figures.
It works but is not a value choice for PS5-only use. Keep it for a Gen5 PC; for the console a Gen4 Kingston drive is cheaper and just as capable.
The Gen5 caveat for the PS5
The Kingston Renegade G5 is a Gen5 drive, and the PS5 expansion bay runs at Gen4 speed. It works and performs like a top Gen4 drive in the console, but you do not get its Gen5 numbers, so you are paying a premium the PS5 cannot use.
If the drive will also live in a Gen5 PC, that premium makes sense. For PS5-only use, a Gen4 drive is cheaper, cooler in the bay, and just as effective.
