Oof just saw this. I listed all the compatible pads on u/nalc's post here:

I'm sure the B01S is a decent pad, but it's still a resin pad, and resin pads tend to wear fairly quickly, and also don't perform as well, esp. in the wet. Sintered (metallic) pads are a bit pricier initially, but less expensive in the long run.
First, definitely upgrade to a rotor that accepts sintered pads (i.e. not marked "resin-only") if you don't have them. Shimano RT800 are good.
Then get a sintered pad. I'd probably use these. If you're feeling adventurous, I might even suggest using an e-bike sintered pad for the rear.
For the record I have about 5000+ miles on my mountain bike and the sintered pads are only half worn and still perform really well...
