The RGB lighting on the drive is certainly the stand-out feature here; it’ll look fantastic in your build, if RGB is the theme. We found the perforated metal lighting zones looked great and contrasted well against the metal enclosure.
However, that’s pretty much where the praise ends. Performance was lacking in most of our tests and can only be described as mediocre at the very best. Most of our tests found the SSD being beaten by drives considerably older than it, particularly in the ATTO write test. It seemed that performance dropped off quickly in the ATTO test if we let the application run a few times in a row.
The price is also somewhat of an issue for us. At £121 for the 480GB model that we tested, we’re able to find drives at roughly half of that which offer similar or better performance; it’s truly form over function with the FURY RGB, but we cannot deny, it looks fantastic in the case.
All of that being said, the likelihood of the “average Joe” finding this drive to be any slower than a similar capacity SSD is slim.
The drive looks brilliant, with the RGB on or off, but the performance is lacking unfortunately.
