FANXIANG S201 128GB SATA M.2 SSD

The FANXIANG S201 is a 128GB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor. It uses a SATA 6Gbps interface and 3D TLC NAND flash memory. The drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 480MB/s. It is designed for consumer laptops and desktop PCs with an M.2 SATA slot.

Suits SATA M.2 slots; not for PCIe-only boards

This drive fits systems that have an M.2 key supporting the SATA protocol. It works with Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 on notebooks, all-in-ones and desktops. It will not function in M.2 slots wired exclusively for PCIe signalling. Buyers needing higher capacity or PCIe performance should select a different model.

SATA 6Gbps interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 6Gbps interface on an M.2 2280 connector. Your motherboard or laptop must provide an M.2 slot that runs SATA, not only PCIe. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C. Features include SLC caching, LDPC ECC, TRIM and thermal throttling.

Questions about this item

Does the FANXIANG S201 128GB drive ship with mounting screws and a screwdriver, or must I buy them separately?

The supplier confirms that installation screws and a screwdriver are included in the product package, so no separate purchase is required.

The headline speeds show 550MB/s read and 480MB/s write; how do I decide between this 128GB model and the larger 256GB version?

Both capacities share the same SATA III 6Gbps interface and quoted sequential speeds, so the choice comes down to how much storage space you need for the operating system, applications and files.

What does the 550MB/s sequential read figure mean when the S201 is installed in a laptop or desktop with an M.2 SATA slot?

In a system with an M.2 SATA interface the drive can deliver up to 550MB/s sequential read and 480MB/s sequential write, accelerating boot times, application launches and file transfers within the limits of the SATA 6Gbps link.
