fanxiang 2TB SSD Internal Solid State Drive SATA III 6GB/s 2.5", 3D NAND, SLC Cache, Up to 550MB/s, Compatible with Laptops and Desktops (S101)

I have had a few of these recently, same make, same size (512GB) and they really are impressive, and affordable. There are other sizes too, eg 1TB but the prices start to rise on all these dramatically, but this size, is amazing bargain, and as mentioned had a few of these over t he last few months, and they all work effortlessly, and fast too

Does the job, great budget friendly storage.

Leaflet unreadable mega tiny even with a magnying glass. Useless. Went on web site searched and downloaded their SSD Toolbox.Not intuitive for any novice, system migration google says is data files only. If like me use disk cloning option. Be careful if checking around as it keeps resetting destination disk to my own disk not the new one.Will update the review when cloned and replaced.Not too confident in long term reliability as reading online reviews quote total failures and becoming unusable after some weeks.Will not be a happy bunny if I have to revert to my old removed small capacity disk after some weeks with the hassle of program updates, including win 11 ones.Maybe I will migrate all my MS SQL stuff to my data disk from the boot disk 1st, major headache to do and tricky.On 10% of cloning 256GB to this 1TB nowOh, some Chinese on screen so not fully translated.Ok, update, did not check my pc , internal old drive not accessible. So installed as 2nd drive update. Worked fine. Backup SQL database, copied all support files. Deleted SQL off the system. Shutdown, rebooted and install SQL and other stuff to the new D drive.Well pleased, lots of room left on 1TB DRIVEC drive now running at 38%Have other pics to update, will buy this replacement SSD again

I have been using this drive for three days and all has been fine up till I had my game files random corrupt. I do not know if this is related to the drive but I will update this review if there is any more issues.Apart from that, I have noticed the speed is pretty great, games update much faster and my system feels snappier overall. It is very easy to install and can fit pretty much anywhere in a pc case. It may be slightly harder to install in a laptop but all it would take is a 5 minute youtube video and some confidence!

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop, five or six years old. Never use it as so slow and I have a decent desktop. Nine minute boot time. A bit of research and I found out that Dell laptops, even new ones, are notoriously slow. After a bit of Youtube research, found out that the hard drive makes them slow and can be improved by replacing with a Solid State Drive. Bought the cheapest of these, 128Gb, for £13.90. Bought two Benfei sata to USB cables at £5.09 each. Downloaded Lazesoft Disk Image and Clone software for free, onto my desktop PC. Plugged the hard drive and SSD into the desktop, externally, using the cables, also bought from Amazon. Cloned the whole hard drive onto the SSD. Fitted the SSD into my Dell laptop and it works great, and is much faster than before. Laptop is never going to be super fast but is now useable and for a small amount of money. Go for the bigger drive if you use the laptop a lot. Highly recommended.

Ease of installation, Connectivity, storage capacity, build quality, value for money,Heat level.Bought for upgrading my Acer aspire 5742 laptop and installed windows 10 pro.This SSD is quick to boot up and file swapping is fast.Great price on Amazon and the delivery is quick.sata 3 speeds,I would recommend this ssd Sata hard drive to anyone who is upgrading to a new Hard drive check your laptop specs to see if you can use the 1TB SSD.

So I decided I was going to upgrade my laptops SATA slot with this drive, 2TB for £94.99, what a steal.So I pulled the bottom plate off the laptop, installed the thing, put everything back and booted up. This is where a lot of reviews will tell you the problems start when the disk doesn't initialize. Well don't listen to them, most don't and I'd be more worried if they did.So got the thing initialized, all seemed good. Then I decided to put a few games on there to give it a test. all looked fine. powered the laptop off at the end of the day, came back to it today and low an behold it can't open the folders. hmmm ok so lets run some test on it, everything seems fine. so I decided the best thing to do was wipe and start again. Well formatting failed and then the disk refused to initialize at all after a restart.That is the point I stopped. I was going to try using a Windows bootable to reformat the drive but way to much effort. I have just got back from the post office where the drive will be on its way back to Amazon (Who I will commend on making the returns process simple)In summary, pay a little extra, get a known brand and save yourself the trouble. Brands like this tend to be hit and miss in in this case its a miss.side note: ease of install. well if you know what you're doing easy if you're a tech novice I'd say 3 out of 10. physical install easy enough (even in a laptop) initializing the disk (obviously assuming no issues) is a bit tricky if you don't know where to look. Although that would be the same for any SATA SSD.
