FANXIANG

FANXIANG S301 mSATA 512GB internal SSD

SKU CH-VBY8-WBG33

mSATA internal SSD with 512 GB capacity, 3D NAND TLC, and sequential speeds up to 550 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write

  • Total capacity512 GB
  • Sequential read speed550 MB/s
  • Sequential write speed480 MB/s
  • Interface typemSATA
  • Form factormSATA
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 512GB

  • Compact mSATA form factor fits ultra-thin laptops and embedded boards
  • Sequential read up to 550 MB/s cuts boot and load times
  • Sequential write up to 480 MB/s speeds up file saves and installs
  • 3D NAND TLC with SLC cache and LDPC ECC protects data integrity
  • Operates from -40 °C to +85 °C for harsh environments

Compact mSATA form factor

The FANXIANG S301 is a 512GB internal solid-state drive built on the mSATA interface. Its small footprint suits older laptops, mini PCs and embedded boards that cannot accept a 2.5-inch SATA drive. The drive uses 3D NAND TLC flash and supports standard SATA features such as TRIM, SMART and LDPC error correction.

Sequential read up to 550MB/s

The headline specification is a maximum sequential read speed of 550MB/s with a sequential write ceiling of 480MB/s over the 6Gbps SATA link. These figures decide whether the drive can saturate the host controller in a typical upgrade scenario. SLC caching and advanced wear levelling help sustain performance during burst workloads.

512GB capacity for OS and apps

At 512GB the drive comfortably holds an operating system, core applications and a working set of documents or media. Heavy media libraries or large game collections will exceed the available space, so plan secondary storage for bulk data. Operating temperature range spans -40°C to +85°C for industrial environments.

Questions about this item

What does the 550 MB/s sequential read speed mean for everyday use?

The 550 MB/s read speed allows faster operating system boot times and quicker application launches compared to a mechanical hard drive, limited by the SATA 6 Gbps interface.

How does the mSATA interface affect the maximum transfer rate?

The mSATA interface runs at SATA 6 Gbps, capping practical sequential throughput at the drive's rated 550 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write speeds.

What are the physical dimensions needed to install this mSATA drive?

This drive uses the compact mSATA form factor, which is smaller than a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and fits directly into a motherboard mSATA slot without a drive bay.
