The hub recognized it right away as a connected hard drive, showed the storage properly, and started using it for loop recording without me having to fight with setup. For this type of use, I wanted something quiet, simple, and reliable. Since it is an SSD, there is no spinning hard drive noise, and it does not add the same heat or vibration concerns as an older style drive. The available storage showed around 953GB, which is normal after formatting, and that gives plenty of room for camera recordings. Installation was easy, the drive was recognized quickly, and it has been working well so far. For a budget SATA SSD, it does exactly what I needed. - Plug and play for my camera hub storage. - Recognized right away as a connected hard drive. - Works with loop recording. - Around 953GB usable after formatting. - Quiet since it is an SSD. - No spinning drive noise. - Good amount of storage for multiple cameras. - Easy installation. - Good value for the money. - Better option than using a small memory card for backup storage. Verdict: Great budget SSD for hub storage, especially if you want quiet, simple, plug-and-play recording space. Review: Exceptional Value and Performance for Legacy PCs - With memory and storage prices remaining elevated, I went looking for a drive that balanced cost with reliable performance. After checking a recommendation via Alexa and doing some quick research, it is clear that this brand is gaining real traction by hitting that sweet spot of high quality at a very accessible price point. The trajectory feels a lot like how TeamGroup built its reputation here on desertcart. I ordered this specifically to replace a failing mechanical drive in a coworker’s computer, and the result was night and day. It is significantly faster than the machine was even the day it was first set up. Moving from an aging mechanical spinning disk to these SSD speeds provides the kind of immediate, tangible boost that makes an old computer feel brand new. Beyond the speed, the component choice is a major plus. This drive utilizes TLC chips, which offer a much better lifespan for writes compared to the cheaper, budget-focused QLC alternatives flooding the market. For anyone looking to breathe life back into an older system without breaking the bank, this drive is a fantastic value. ## Features - SPEED UP COMPUTER: The SSD 500GB SATA achieves blazing read and write speeds of 500MB/s, facilitating rapid file and data transfers - UPGRADE YOUR COMPUTER: Compared to HDDs, the 500GB SATA SSD boots up at least 50% faster, enabling instant productivity or gaming sessions - LONG-LASTING DURABILITY: The 2.5 SSD 500GB incorporates 3D NAND TLC chips, offering a longer lifespan in writes compared to QLC, ensuring a more reliable data storage solution - EXTENSIVE COMPATIBILITY: The S101 500GB internal SSD drive is compatible with desktops, laptops, all-in-one PCs, supporting various operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, meeting the needs of diverse devices - Quality Assurance: fanxiang S101 500GB SSD comes with a 3-year quality assurance, providing lasting protection and confidence for your purchase ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B5CH6B2L | | Additional Features | Hardware Encryption | | Best Sellers Rank | #13 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Brand | fanxiang | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 500 GB | | Color | Previous Generation | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Gaming Console, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | FFP Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 23,301 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 530 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | Polycarbonate | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA-600 | | Hard-Drive Size | 500 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | Linux, PC | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 5.87"L x 3.43"W x 0.63"Th | | Item Weight | 2.08 ounces | | Manufacturer | fanxiang | | Media Speed | 450 Megabytes Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | S101 | | Model Name | S101 | | Model Number | S101 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 540 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Hardware Encryption | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** fanxiang - **Color:** Previous Generation - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Gaming Console, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 500 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA-600 - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Hardware Encryption ## Images ![S101 500GB SSD SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive, Read Speed up to 500MB/sec, Compatible with Laptop and PC Desktops(Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iVqetmlLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why can't the SATA SSD be recognized after installation?** A: When using an SSD for the first time, it needs to be formatted and partitioned first. You can use "Disk Management Tool" to format and partition the SSD, and then use it in "Windows Explorer". **Q: Why is the actual capacity of SSD smaller than the advertised capacity?** A: Because the manufacturer's calculation method is 1TB=1000MB=1000000KB=1000000000B, and the computer system's calculation method is 1TB=1024MB=1024*1024KB=1024*1024*1024B, so the capacity you see is 1TB=(1000*1000*1000)/(1024*1024*1024)TB≈0.93TB. **Q: How to copy data to a new SSD?** A: We have launched the latest FANXIANG SSD Toolbox, which can read the running status of SSDs. At the same time, it also has disk cloning and system migration functions (Note: this operation will delete all data on the target hard drive). **Q: What does the product packaging contain?** A: "After purchasing the product you will receive: 1 * 2.5-inch SATA SSD, 1 * product box Note: The product does not include a SATA cable. If needed, please purchase separately. Thank you." **Q: How can I know if this product is compatible with my computer?** A: For a 2.5" SATA SSD, as long as your computer has a SATA interface or previously used either a mechanical hard drive or a solid-state drive, you can use this SSD ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and play for my camera hub storage *by O***Y on June 26, 2026* I bought this 1TB SSD to use as storage for my multi-camera hub system, and it was basically plug and play.

After arrival, I plug it into a Video Recorder and it formats and records OK. Sigh of relief. HOWEVER, I attach it to my computer via a Sabrent USB 3.1 2.5" SSD Cable Adapter - EC-SS31 purchased elsewhere, and the computer did NOT FULLY RECOGNIZE IT. Additionally, I can't initialize via MMC in Windows 11 because a terse error appears leaving me hanging. When I check the Windows systray, it shows the device for detaching but does not assign a drive letter. So I boot into Ubuntu 22.04 Linux and similar issue. GParted does not even recognize the drive. Attaching the drive to the computer is critical for transferring files from the Video Recorder so that I can edit them on the computer. Luckily I also have a Wavlink USB 3 2.5" HD case. Trying the drive with this will possibly eliminate any issue with the Sabrent adapter. The drive immediately is recognized with the Wavlink, fully initialized, formatted and pops up in the operating system and transfers files. Just because the device is inexpensive does not mean it is no good. If possible, properly check and eliminate all other variables before calling support or returning. ## Frequently Bought Together - fanxiang S101 500GB SSD SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive, Read Speed up to 550MB/sec, Compatible with Laptop and PC Desktops(Black) - BENFEI SATA Cable III, 3 Pack SATA Cable III 6Gbps Straight HDD SDD Data Cable with Locking Latch 18 Inch Compatible for SATA HDD, SSD, CD Driver, CD Writer - Black - Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket (3.5” Internal Drive Bay to 2.5", Easy Installation) Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/453492085-s101-500gb-ssd-sata-iii-6gb-s-2-5-internal](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/453492085-s101-500gb-ssd-sata-iii-6gb-s-2-5-internal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
