    Amazon reviews are worthless. People give 5 stars to the fake 16tb ssd's for £30 because they plugged it in and it said 16tb, most people are clueless idiots, especially with tech.

    Never heard of this brand, how reliable are these?
    Solee's avatar
    Often these brands buy rejected nand at a lower cost, not that rejected means faulty but bigger brands just aren't interested. These secondary companies often scoop it up at a lower price and make these kinds of products.

    So for reliability, I wouldn't trust my mission critical data on it but for a game drive, scratch disk etc. Go for it. (edited)

    FYI, Fanxiang is a Chinese SSD Brand that uses chips from Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd, the same model is currently pricing at 479 RMB (about £55) on JD.com (Chinese Amazon equivalent) with 5 Years warranty and this product range has more than 100 thousands reviews (98% positive).

    They also use Intel and SK Hynix NAND, probably others too.
    They just buy whatever is cheapest at the time. (edited)

    Worth spending a little extra for 5 year warranty available on all the more well known brands.

    Also the speed test is misleading as only tests the 150GB of SLC cache, not the entire drive.

    Depends on how crucial your data is (pun not intended)

    If it's just a gaming pc no it doesn't really matter. Amazon will sort you out if it does fail.

    If it's critical stuff then get Samsung/crucial/Kingston/WD (edited)

    Has this expired now because I can't find the tick box to apply the voucher

    I had a Silicon Power SSD with very similar specs, worked fine for a year and met the advertised speeds. Then suddenly I started getting critical drive error messages on bootup saying it will die soon, so had to replace my boot drive. Im still using it to store some games (and it hasnt died completely yet) but I probably wouldnt use one of these cheaper Chinese brands as my boot drive again.
    Neostar's avatar
    That can happen if it is over heating to 50+ degrees which can kill SSDs no matter what brand your using
  8. slayermatt's avatar
    I'm curious about suggestions. This looks ideal for a games drive and is decently cheap when compared to other more main stream 2tbs of the same sort of spec.
    Somersett's avatar
    Pretty much any flash device is great for games- modern games benefit less from flash speeds than older games. For instance, you can make Skyrim and Fallout operate with near instantaneous loading via NVMe, but 2023 games still take forever to load, by and large.

    Windows cannot really take advantage of super-fast NVMe speeds for newer games down to many issues, including poor DMA on the PCIe architecture. So if you game, fast NVMe and super fast NVMe might as well be the same.

    This, u need a student friend but for a little more, a lot faster and from a reputable brand.
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    That's QLC NAND though, so not an 'apples to apples' comparison.
  10. bovrilla's avatar
    might be handy as a game drive, not a huge amount of writes but loads of reads
  11. Myriad's avatar
    I remember when Sabrent was "new" I took a shot at their first gen Rocket and its still going strong. This is probably fine too, maybe good for game drive but not anything you want to risk losing data on
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Indeed.
    If no one ever bought anything from a new company, there would never be a successful new company that had a chance to generate a positive reputation. (edited)

    Anyone know how these are in a NAS? It'll be on almost 24/7 and temperature gets a little hot inside mine because it's jam packed with stuff and also in a cupboard . I don't really care about it dying as long as it's within warranty my data isn't that important. If it is I always use silicone hdds in the same NAS.

    Thanks for the help, I wasn't very successful finding failure rates and testing for these on Google hence the question here.

    I’ve just opened mine up today. There’s 4 thermal pads in there (2 pairs and they’re both different). Can anyone tell me how they should be installed please?
