fanxiang S101Q Spec and Price in the United Kingdom
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.
