S101 500GB SATA III SSD

A good ssd hard drive with decent speed

I bought this SSD to replace the old hard drive in my laptop, and wow — the difference is night and day. It boots up in less than 10 seconds, apps load in the blink of an eye, and even large files transfer far faster than before. What I really liked: The installation was straightforward — swapped out the drive, cloned the old one, and I was up and running in under 30 minutes. It runs cool and quiet (no spinning disks rattling anymore), which is great for my workspace. I chose a model with modern interface and good specs (helps with future-proofing). Things to watch out for: Make sure your laptop supports the interface (SATA vs NVMe) — I nearly ordered the wrong form factor. After installing, you’ll want to confirm your BIOS/UEFI settings are correct so the system recognises the SSD properly. Overall: If your laptop has been feeling sluggish and the old drive is a bottleneck, this SSD is a fantastic upgrade. Great value for what you get — smoother performance, quicker boot times, and a more responsive machine. I recommend it.

Works as described. Fast delivery. Easy to install.

Boots my PC up in less than a minute and the quality of the cables haven't failed me yet. It's storage compared to its size as well as its price-tag is quite a testament to how advanced and commonplace SSD's are nowadays. It's speed is definitely a plus and it doesn't heat up that much at all. If you want a cheap SSD, whether it's for storage or running your Operating System, this is a good budget choice.

512 Gb, $22.99, delivered in April 2023 Great out of the gate, but Bit the SHed (went teets up) after 18 months (in October 2024). I was using it for KVMs (kernel virtual machines) on a Linux-based host. Great performance while alive, but I was hoping to get at least 3 years out of it. Oh, well.

My PC is formatting this drive at a block rate of around 300mbps which is pretty standard. Formatting at this rate will take a little over an hour and I will monitor the drive's temperature and test transfer rate. I'm going to go ahead and install an OS on the drive because I think it will perform better as a primary drive. I will send a follow up review later. The following days I installed my os and got my games running. I immediately noticed that so programs are running better and faster. The os boots up in less than 30 seconds. Read write rate is around 540mbps. ***Update*** its been a few weeks. This hard drive is running as my primary hard drive and is running stabily and normally so far. I notice no heat issues or slowness in fact my PC is about 60% faster than it was with the standard hard drive. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. ***One Month Update** It has been almost a month and I am using this SSD drive as my primary drive. I have since upgraded memory and processor as well and all is functioning very well. ***July Update*** I've had this HD since April so going on 3 months now. It is still working great, no issues at all. My computer boots faster than ever and runs quietly and perfectly. I have no complaints, so far everything is perfect. **AUGUST UPDATE** Still working great, no issues with the drive. I'm going to buy another one soon to use as a redundancy backup drive. **ONE YEAR UPDATE** The drive is running great without any problems whatsoever.

This HD is less expensive, and for that reason I felt nervous purchasing it. After arrival, I plug it into a Video Recorder and it formats and records OK. Sigh of relief. HOWEVER, I attach it to my computer via a Sabrent USB 3.1 2.5" SSD Cable Adapter - EC-SS31 purchased elsewhere, and the computer did NOT FULLY RECOGNIZE IT. Additionally, I can't initialize via MMC in Windows 11 because a terse error appears leaving me hanging. When I check the Windows systray, it shows the device for detaching but does not assign a drive letter. So I boot into Ubuntu 22.04 Linux and similar issue. GParted does not even recognize the drive. Attaching the drive to the computer is critical for transferring files from the Video Recorder so that I can edit them on the computer. Luckily I also have a Wavlink USB 3 2.5" HD case. Trying the drive with this will possibly eliminate any issue with the Sabrent adapter. The drive immediately is recognized with the Wavlink, fully initialized, formatted and pops up in the operating system and transfers files. Just because the device is inexpensive does not mean it is no good. If possible, properly check and eliminate all other variables before calling support or returning.

Very good and easy to install

Produto cumpre o que promete e é condizente com a propaganda. Deu uma sobrevida incrível pro PCzinho que tenho. Podem comprar sem medo de errar

The fanxiang S101 500GB SSD (SATA III 6Gb/s) is very good! It was easy to install, and the performance boost was immediate — super fast boot times and quick file transfers. The read speed is excellent, and it runs quietly with no issues. Great quality and reliability at a great price — highly recommend!

Very Happy, Purchased to install a new Ubuntu OS on my PC, it works straight out of the box and is twice as fast as my old ssd holding windows so no complaints from me.
