2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Heatsink Assembly (if not pre-assembled)
The fanxiang S660 SSD typically comes with a pre-assembled heatsink. If your model requires assembly, follow these steps:
- Choose one thick and one thin cooling pad from the included accessories.
- Tear off the plastic film from the thick thermal pad and place it on the heatsink base.
- Place the SSD onto the thermal pad, ensuring the chip faces upwards. Adjust the SSD to align with screw holes and the M.2 interface.
- Tear off the plastic film from the thin thermal pad and stick it on the bottom of the heatsink cover.
- Insert one side of the heatsink cover into the slot of the base. Press the other side firmly until you hear a 'click', indicating the heatsink is in place.
- Fix the SSD with the heatsink installed using the provided screws or buckles to your motherboard.

3. Operating and Formatting
3.1 Initializing and Formatting on PC
After physical installation in a PC, the SSD may need to be initialized and formatted before use. This process typically involves:
- Accessing Disk Management in your operating system (e.g., Windows).
- Locating the unallocated disk space corresponding to your new SSD.
- Initializing the disk (MBR or GPT, typically GPT for modern systems).
- Creating a new simple volume and formatting it with a file system (e.g., NTFS).
For a visual guide on formatting and partitioning the SSD on a PC, please watch the following video:

3.2 Formatting on PS5
Once the SSD is installed in your PS5, the console will prompt you to format it. Follow the on-screen instructions. Note that formatting will erase all data on the SSD. The PS5 will also perform a speed test after formatting.
The fanxiang S660 SSD is designed to deliver read speeds up to 5000MB/s, providing a significant performance boost for your gaming experience.
4. Maintenance
The fanxiang S660 SSD features an efficient heatsink design to manage heat during prolonged and intensive usage. No specific user maintenance is required for the SSD itself beyond ensuring proper airflow within your device (PC case or PS5 console) to facilitate effective heat dissipation from the heatsink.
Avoid physical damage to the SSD or its heatsink. Do not attempt to disassemble the SSD beyond heatsink removal if necessary for installation in specific M.2 slots.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your fanxiang S660 SSD, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- Not Detected: Ensure the SSD is correctly seated in the M.2 slot and secured. For PCs, check Disk Management to see if it needs initialization. For PS5, ensure the console is fully updated.
- Slow Performance: Verify that your motherboard or PS5 M.2 slot supports PCIe 4.0. Ensure the SSD is not excessively full (performance can degrade when nearly full). Check for firmware updates for your SSD or device.
- Overheating: Confirm the heatsink is properly installed and making good contact with the SSD. Ensure adequate airflow within your system.
For persistent issues, please refer to the Warranty and Support section for contact information.
