FANXIANG S690Q 500GB NVMe SSD

The FANXIANG S690Q 500GB is an internal NVMe SSD built for consumers who need fast storage in a compact M.2 2280 form factor. It uses QLC memory components and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to deliver high bandwidth for gaming and everyday workloads. The drive includes a graphene heat dissipation sticker to help manage thermals during sustained use.

PCIe 4.0 x4 interface limits

The drive connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 lane configuration providing 64Gbps of bandwidth. Sequential reads reach up to 4300 MBps while writes reach up to 1700 MBps. The 160 TBW endurance rating defines the total data that can be written over the drive's warranted life. Actual throughput will vary with host hardware, workload and thermal conditions.

M.2 2280 build and mounting

The single-sided module measures 80mm long, 22mm wide and 2.9mm thick, weighing 8g. It fits standard M.2 slots in desktops and notebooks without a bulky heatsink. The package includes a screwdriver and mounting screw for immediate installation. The slim profile clears low-clearance motherboards and laptop bays.

Questions about this item

Will this drive fit in a PS5 console?

The M.2 2280 form factor matches the PS5 expansion slot. The drive measures 80 mm long, 22 mm wide and 2.9 mm thick, and includes a graphene heat-dissipation sticker that helps keep temperatures within Sony's limits.

Does the 500 GB model use the same QLC memory and SLC cache as larger capacities?

Yes. The 500 GB version uses QLC flash with an SLC cache layer and HMB technology, delivering up to 4300 MB/s sequential read and 1700 MB/s sequential write on a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface.

What is the endurance rating for this capacity?

The 500 GB drive is rated for 160 TBW, which represents the total amount of data that can be written over the warranty period.
