fanxiang S101Q Spec and Price in Canada

SATA1TB2.5-inch560 MB/s read

The S101Q sits in the same no-frills SATA class as most of the budget field: 560/510 MB/s sequential read/write on a 1TB 2.5-inch drive, with a three-year warranty and none of the extras — no DRAM cache spec, no PCIe headline — that pricier drives lead with. It's built for basic responsiveness gains over a mechanical drive rather than any performance ceiling, the kind of pick for a secondary desktop or an older machine getting its first SSD upgrade.

Tied 87th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 8 models share this figure. 98th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers found it a low-cost SATA drive that reaches the interface's sequential limits.
  • It carries a large pSLC cache, keeping burst performance high.

Commonly criticised

  • It uses QLC NAND, so sustained write speed drops sharply once the cache is exhausted.
  • Random and 4K performance is modest, as expected for a budget SATA drive.

Guides for this category

How to choose an SSDFour questions decide almost every SSD purchase — what fits, how big, how fast, and how much it should cost.NVMe or SATAWhich interface your machine takes, how to tell without opening it, and what the speed difference actually buys you.How much SSD capacity you actually needHow to size a drive from what you already use, why leaving headroom matters, and when one bigger drive beats two small ones.M.2 sizes and SSD form factorsWhat 2280, 2242, and 2.5-inch mean, which one your machine takes, and how to check the keying before you buy.What SSD speed numbers actually tell youSequential versus random performance, why the number on the box describes the rarer case, and how to read it without being misled.PCIe generations for SSDsWhat Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 change, why a newer drive always works in an older slot, and when the extra speed is worth paying for.TLC, QLC, and DRAM-less SSDsWhat the NAND type and the controller's cache change about how a drive behaves, and when either is worth caring about.SSD endurance and warrantiesWhat TBW and DWPD actually promise, how much a normal machine writes, and when endurance is worth paying extra for.How to install an SSDFitting an M.2 or 2.5-inch drive, choosing between cloning and a clean install, and what to check on the first boot.When an SSD price is actually goodWhy price per terabyte beats any discount percentage, and why a good price on one capacity says nothing about the others.
