256GB SATA M.2 2280 SSD

The FANXIANG S201 is a 256GB internal solid state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA interface. It uses 3D TLC NAND and an SLC cache to deliver sequential reads up to 550MB/s and writes up to 480MB/s. The drive supports TRIM, SMART, LDPC ECC and thermal throttling for data integrity. It is designed for consumer desktops and laptops with an M.2 SATA slot.

Suits SATA M.2 slots; not for PCIe-only boards

This drive fits systems that provide a SATA-signalled M.2 2280 socket, including many laptops, all-in-ones and desktop motherboards running Windows 7 through 11. It will not operate in a slot that only accepts PCIe signalling. Buyers with PCIe-only M.2 connectors or 2.5-inch drive bays should select a different model.

SATA protocol defines compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA protocol on the M.2 2280 connector. Verify the motherboard or laptop manual lists SATA support for its M.2 slot before purchase.
