FANXIANG S201 512GB M.2 SATA SSD

The FANXIANG S201 is a 512GB M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive that uses the SATA 3 interface. It is built with 3D NAND TLC memory and fits laptops, desktops and all-in-one PCs that have an M.2 SATA slot.

Upgrading from a mechanical hard drive

Replacing a spinning hard drive with this drive brings faster boot times, quicker application launches and shorter file transfers. The jump is most noticeable on older systems that still rely on mechanical storage for the operating system.

512GB capacity with 300TBW endurance

The 512GB capacity holds the operating system, everyday applications and a modest media library. Sequential reads reach 550MB/s and writes reach 480MB/s, while the 300TBW rating provides headroom for typical consumer workloads.

Questions about this item

What motherboard slot and keying does the M.2 2280 SATA drive need?

It fits an M.2 2280 slot wired for SATA; the key notch must match the B-and-M key layout used by SATA M.2 modules.

How is the drive secured, and what step do builders often miss?

Insert the drive at an angle, press it flat, then fasten the supplied screw into the motherboard standoff; the step often missed is installing the standoff before mounting the drive.

When should the drive be replaced based on its endurance rating?

The drive is rated for 300TBW; plan replacement once written data approaches that figure or if SMART attributes show critical wear.
