FAQ
1. Why can’t find an SSD hard disk and read/write data?
The newly bought SSD generally needs to be formatted in Disk Management before use. lt is recommended to format in the windows operating system and use NTFS format.
2. Does this come with screws, brackets, or spacers?
Since each case/system may be a little different, our standard retail package only contains the bare drive.
Why the capacity displayed from the PC is smaller than the original capacity?
Actual usable space may be less than the total storage capacity listed due to Deci mal measurement used to represent usable capacity of the SSD.
Actual capacity calculation: Total storage x 0.93.
Factory default setting :1GB=1000MB=1000000KB=1000000000B
Computer system setting_1GB=1024MB=1048576KB=1073741824B
Example: 360GB SSD：Factory capacity: 360x1000x1000x1000=360000000000B. Transfer to PC displayed actual capacity: 360000000000B/1024/1024/1024=335G. Fast calculation: 360Gx0.93=335G

I will not try to make it like its the same or better than the flagship ones. But for the price I’ve paid it was worth and had no problem replacing my PlayStation ssd.
I have been using two 1tb drives in my Nas for 6 months now and they are still going strong the drives have not lost any speed health status is still the same as the day I got them I am happy with them
I decided to replace my HDD with a SSD to see if it would improve the boot-up speed of my Linux system. Wow, it’s almost instant now, it’s a vast improvement and no noise from the drive. Very good investment.
I fit it into my Asus mini PC and started to transfer Tb’s of files from my old drive to this, I really couldn’t believe that the files had copied over it was so fast. Just hope it has a long life.
Install was easy and straightforward. Drive was recognised and OS installed without any prep. All worked first time and my XBOX has since received an update so the boot logo is back.
Xbox generally seems much faster at starting up, downloading and starting games. Have filled it to 85% capacity with no issues so far. It’s been a few weeks and still working well. I hope it lasts.
I’ve used Macrium Reflect to clone an existing 1TB HDD and everything went smooth.
At the end, I’ve used CrystalDiskMark to benchmark it.
Excellent results (see the screenshot): 562MB/s Read and 494MB/s Write (very close to the max specs).
I highly recommend this SSD!
But! I really wouldn’t trust the larger drives with all my data until Fanxiang have developed a name for themselves.
Will be back to complain if there’s any trouble with it in the future.
Essentially, unlike most other SSD’s that I have purchased over the last few years, it will not auto initialise as a storage device from the box. This is an easy fix if you’re IT literate, but even then you have to look for the device in settings.
Basically, you need to initialise the device, then go into disk management and create a volume. Once this is done the drive works well, and I have no complaints about the value.
If it lasts, it is great value.
Bought this SSD to store games on works well, no issues, great value
Fantastic, 20 pounds for a 256GB SSD, Amazing. Super easy to install, great for the price, and great value.
This SSD drive is good quality and is great value for money, I purchased this to store films etc on it to plug into my tv using a caddy. For this purpose it is excellent value and works very well. I wouldn’t purchase one to put in my laptop as for a little bit more money you can get much faster options
I’m very impressed by this small yet powerful SSD. Very easy to set up and use. This is the perfect upgrade from HDD.
I cloned the existing hard drive to this new SSD with Macrium Reflect. You can get a free license for home use.
Very straight forward to use and worked straight away. Laptop boots up much faster and apps are so much more responsive. Stops the wife moaning about how slow her laptop is, so well worth the money.
The hardest bit was getting the laptop apart to change the drives over. Watch out as there are screws nder them rubber feet on some laptops.
But all i all very happy with this purchase
Because this is so slim, compared to the old drive when I put this into laptop I managed to put it UNDER the connectors instead of into them, obviously it was not recognised causing a lot of panic until I noticed what I had done, so if the drive is not recognised check it is plugged in properly.
I bought this to replace a HDD that died in a backup laptop. There js no comparison, it is so much faster in operation that I just ordered another one for my main laptop.
Cheap works and is stable .. better to buy these than loose USBs easier to find
I built lots of computers and before the Asus G750JS yes old but still a very good gaming laptop it took a sata 3 connection to USB to see it in windows 10 format the drive to NTFS then windows sees it. Of course, if your going to clone it will be fantastic, I tested this afterward but once setup reads at 545mbs writes at 525mbs
The best option over buying a new laptop is replacing your old HDD with an SSD like this, So far bootup is less than 1 minute and I can get onto google really quickly for working so it’s well worth the upgrade.
Very pleased
