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 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.
Cloning the drive was easy with the free version of DiskGenius and a cheapo USB enclosure I had lying around. Once installed in the machine, it worked identically—possibly a touch faster than before.
The ThinkPad lives on once more.
If you install it into a PC or laptop without a partition the Op-system may not recognize the new HDD.
I used a working laptop and a Hard Drive Docking Station, USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay External HDD Dock Caddy Reader sold by SSK and dispatched by Amazon. I was able to set up the new SSD partition and format it before installing and all was OK. I noticed from the reviews that some have returned the drives as defective because they were not recognized by the system. Could this have been the reason??
I can recommend this SSD as a good, working and cost effective storage devise from Amazon.
If you don’t care for the nitty gritty specs and just want something fast with a lot of storage and a good price – this is i
Worked great made my older laptop live a little longer lol
Samsung SSD drive were my go to. Bad experience and poor performance with SD drive from other manufactures. However, the review convinced me to give this a try. Very please with excellent performance for have the cost. If drive continues to perform like it has, I will definitely by int he future.
It was easy to install and to get Windows to recognize but couldn’t for the life of me get Windows to boot from the new drive. I’ve managed to clone windows to the SSD but can’t get it to boot from there, it’s beyond my capabilities.
My advice if you’re trying to do the same would be to spend a bit more and get a drive that comes with cloning software at least then you might be able to get some assistance.
On a plus note now I’ve moved everything except windows off my C: drive it’s booting up quicker with no errors so I’ve sort of solved my problem anyway
Upgrade my PC from a 500gb to a 2TB great value for my money.
For the price, this 2TB SSD is great. It has a fast read/ write speed, and was easily formatted and installed/ cloned with windows to upgrade my pc. Will be buying again.
Best bang for UR Bug no issues from the day I bought it. was in October 3, 2022 I see no indications of malfunctions
The two SSD units are each in external housings at different computers, and there are no problems with storage, retrieval, or anything else. If any issues occur, I’ll update. But I’ve been trying to really put them through their paces. I don’t plan on deliberately trying to wear them out (I don’t have that much data; even ripping CDs in WAV format wouldn’t touch these, and never mind filling them up, let alone erasing-and-repeating an additional 499 times). When any HDDs croak, I will replace them with Fanxiangs. And I always backup everything, and these allow redundancy at an unbelievable price.
With time I’ve upgraded about everything in my old PC….the processor, the graphics card, the RAM….but I had still been chugging along on the original HDD. Recently my PC started slowing down, taking longer and longer to start up or complete daily tasks….
I decided to upgrade to an SSD, and this was the absolute best value I could find. I ordered the drive, copied my files over, and installed it without a hitch.
THIS FEELS LIKE A BRAND NEW COMPUTER!!!
It’s faster than it was when it was brand new. Love it. I highly recommend if you’re trying to get some extra life out of your old PC.
Excellent product am using 6 of these as my raid 5 nas as am being tight for power usage
I have it mounted in an old gaming desktop that has a fan on the hard drives, and I haven’t had any problems with it. My point is that I would only use the Fanxiang 2TB SSD in applications that have adequate cooling.
As stated earlier, it has worked fine with a fan on it. Also, the transfer speeds are really good by SSD standards.

Great value for the money, was easy to setup, jus need to partition and format and it’s ready to go. Replaced my mechanical hdds on two of my computers since I have replaced my other drives with either ssd’s or m.2 ssd drives. Might order a 3rd jus for backup in the near future.
The box only comes with the SSD drive. So, you may need to purchase a SATA III cable so that you can connect the drive to your pc’s motherboard. Also, you’ll need to download software in order to clone your old HDD / partition the new SSD drive. Free software is available online, just search for it on Google.
I’ve only had the drive installed and working for 1 week, but so far it’s working perfectly. My old pc is now running WAY faster and seems as fast or faster then when I originally bought it. Time will tell if this SSD drive will stand the test of time. However, it does come with a 3 year warranty. Customer support is fairly quick to respond to support emails, etc.
Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a low cost / high storage SSD drive, I highly suggest this one.
I did buy this with upgraded ram, new latop battery, and of course this SSD. I do love it myself since i did want to go with the more faster version but still have the HardDrive look and honestly i wished i done have it before. Still good and my old laptop is up and running again like it’s new.
