We continue our roundup of the most exciting Computex 2023 announcements that you can check out now several novelties that are added to the catalog Kingstona brand that we traditionally (correctly of course) usually associate with both RAM and storage media, i.e. basic components for any type of computer, whether desktop or laptop (remember that these are exactly two types of user-replaceable components on many laptops).

So we expected Kingston’s presence at Computex 2023 to bring us news from the brand in this regard, and indeed it did. Some of them are aimed at the professional market, but we can also find them among the classifieds innovations aimed at the consumer market and that is why we are more interested in MuyComputer. So while we still don’t know all the details about these new solutions that will be added to Kingston’s product catalog, let’s see what they told us at the fair.

First, Kingston announced aupdating your favorite and famous DR5 Fury Renegade RGB memorieswith new kits that as the main novelty make the leap to a non-binary memory formatsomething we’ve started to see more recently and seems to be a very good fit for both PC manufacturers and assembly firms, as well as end users when it comes to building their own rigs or upgrading existing ones.

In case you don’t know what it consists of, it refers to the term non-binary memory modules whose capacity is not a power of 2, which has been the norm for decades. As you know, the traditional jumps were 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc. However, with a design that represents non-binary memory, we find for example 24 or 48 gigabyte sets (actually one of the sets that will be included in the Kingston catalog, it is exactly 48 gigabytes). Thanks to the popularization of non-binary memories, the choice of users is growing significantly.

On the other hand, the brand also announced its own Kingston XS1000, external SSD which will hit the market during the third quarter of this year and which promises a maximum sequential read and write performance of 1,000 MB/s. It uses USB 3.2 for this purpose and will be available in capacities of one and two terabytes.

And without forgetting the external storage, we will also look at the drive SSD PCIe 4.0 M.2 FURY Renegade, which boasts the performance reputation associated with Renegade brand products. It will offer sequential read and write performance of up to 7,300 and 7,000 MB/s, respectively, and will be available in capacities of up to four terabytes.
