The Fanxiang S660 4TB SSD receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising its fast performance, easy installation, and great value for money, especially for PS5 use. However, one verified review reveals a significant discrepancy: the drive is advertised as TLC but actually contains QLC NAND, which is a major concern for informed buyers. Overall, the drive performs well in real-world use, but the misleading specification tarnishes its reputation.
