From simple and easy to hardcore protection, Kingston’s got them all at COMPUTEX 2024
2 min readHere we are on Day 3 of COMPUTEX 2024, and we’ve visited Kingston to check out their latest offerings.
We started with the FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB and FURY Beast DDR5 RGB. While these models are familiar, there’s a new limited edition racing-themed FURY Renegade featuring a stylish heatsink and a fresh red paint job.
Next, we saw the CAMM2 memory module. Unfortunately, it was only displayed on a sample motherboard.
We also saw the M.2 2280 FURY Renegade SSDs with PCIe 4.0, which are already available products.
For portable SSDs, the Swift XS series was showcased. The XS1000 is the standard version, while the XS2000 offers higher transfer speeds. The new feature here is a red-colored XS1000.
In the enterprise sector, Kingston displayed the Server Premier DDR5 ECC RAM, supporting up to 96GB per stick, and an 7680GB SATA SSD.
The USB sticks are highlighted for their uniqueness which include the DataTraveler SE9 Gen 3 with 220MBps read speed, the DataTraveler microDuo 3C with both USB-A and USB-C connectors for wide compatibility, and the DataTraveler Max, which offers SSD-level performance in a USB stick form factor.
For enhanced drive security, the Guardian IronKey provides built-in data encryption, requiring a password input via a touchscreen and keypad before accessing the drive. Additionally, the IronKey Vault Privacy 50 app adds another layer of software security.
Kingston’s memory cards range from the high-end Canvas React Plus to the Canvas Go Plus and Canvas Select Plus, all available in microSD form as well.
As an exclusive reveal, Kingston teased the upcoming SSD called Kenting Bay, developed in collaboration with local university research teams to help process data that improves the performance of a robotic race car. We’ll see what it offers when it launches and becomes available for review.
