Fanxiang S101 1TB SSD SATA SSD 1TB Internal Solid State Drive SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" SSD, UP to 520MB/s, 3D NAND TLC

It’s doing exactly as advertised, no issues mounting the drive. Just wish I’d noticed it was only 128g. I misread that part and didn’t notice til after the replacement period lol

This HD is less expensive, and for that reason I felt nervous purchasing it. After arrival, I plug it into a Video Recorder and it formats and records OK. Sigh of relief. HOWEVER, I attach it to my computer via a Sabrent USB 3.1 2.5" SSD Cable Adapter - EC-SS31 purchased elsewhere, and the computer did NOT FULLY RECOGNIZE IT. Additionally, I can't initialize via MMC in Windows 11 because a terse error appears leaving me hanging. When I check the Windows systray, it shows the device for detaching but does not assign a drive letter. So I boot into Ubuntu 22.04 Linux and similar issue. GParted does not even recognize the drive. Attaching the drive to the computer is critical for transferring files from the Video Recorder so that I can edit them on the computer. Luckily I also have a Wavlink USB 3 2.5" HD case. Trying the drive with this will possibly eliminate any issue with the Sabrent adapter. The drive immediately is recognized with the Wavlink, fully initialized, formatted and pops up in the operating system and transfers files. Just because the device is inexpensive does not mean it is no good. If possible, properly check and eliminate all other variables before calling support or returning.

Still functioning 6 months later . I make these things decrypt 1080p video on the fly, weekly . Then it stopped working .

I bought this SSD to replace the old hard drive in my laptop, and wow — the difference is night and day. It boots up in less than 10 seconds, apps load in the blink of an eye, and even large files transfer far faster than before. What I really liked: The installation was straightforward — swapped out the drive, cloned the old one, and I was up and running in under 30 minutes. It runs cool and quiet (no spinning disks rattling anymore), which is great for my workspace. I chose a model with modern interface and good specs (helps with future-proofing). Things to watch out for: Make sure your laptop supports the interface (SATA vs NVMe) — I nearly ordered the wrong form factor. After installing, you’ll want to confirm your BIOS/UEFI settings are correct so the system recognises the SSD properly. Overall: If your laptop has been feeling sluggish and the old drive is a bottleneck, this SSD is a fantastic upgrade. Great value for what you get — smoother performance, quicker boot times, and a more responsive machine. I recommend it.

For me It lasted a couple of months before it became corrupted, but probably because I had an old laptop so a recommended buy if you want to.
