How these two compare

Sequential throughput

fanxiang S101Q 1TB reads at 560 MB/s and writes at 510 MB/s; KingSpec P3 1TB reads at 580 MB/s and writes at 570 MB/s. Both ride the SATA bus, which caps sequential transfer near 550 MB/s in either direction — the ceiling every SATA drive works against — so what more decisively separates them is sustained and random behaviour, the DRAM cache, and endurance.

Warranty

fanxiang S101Q 1TB carries a 3-year warranty and KingSpec P3 1TB carries a 3-year warranty — the length the maker will stand behind the drive, and usually a proxy for the endurance it is rated to.

Which to buy

The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so it cannot call the buy on cost. Judge them on the specifications above — at the same capacity and interface, two drives usually part on things like the DRAM cache, the NAND tier, endurance and warranty, so weigh whichever of those the sections above report.
