Drive identity

The FANXIANG S101 is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive built for consumers who want to replace a mechanical hard drive in a laptop or desktop. It uses 3D NAND TLC memory and a SATA III interface to deliver faster boot and application load times.

Deciding specification

The drive offers up to 530 MBps sequential read and 450 MBps sequential write with a 64 TBW endurance rating. Those figures determine whether the 128 GB capacity meets the workload you have in mind.

Installation reality

The 7 mm high 2.5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays and caddies, and the SATA connector is keyed to prevent misalignment. The only common issue is that the drive must be initialised and formatted in Disk Management before it appears in the operating system.

Questions about this item

What boot and load-time improvement can I expect from the 530 MB/s read speed?

The 530 MB/s sequential read lets the operating system and applications load noticeably faster than a mechanical hard drive, cutting typical boot time and app launch delays.

How does the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface limit real-world throughput?

The SATA III link caps sustained transfers at about 530 MB/s read and 450 MB/s write, so the drive cannot exceed those figures even if the controller is faster.

Will the 7 mm thick 2.5 inch drive fit my laptop bay?

The drive measures 100 mm by 70 mm by 7 mm, matching the standard 2.5 inch 7 mm slot used in most laptops and desktops.
