ᐅ small hole, concrete / cement volume

Hello,

I know it’s a silly question! There are hundreds of calculators, but they always round up to 0.5 cubic meters (0.5 cubic yards).

I have a small hole, 50cm (20 inches) wide × 60cm (24 inches) long × 50cm (20 inches) deep, where the ground anchor for the sunshade will be concreted into the ground.

How many 25kg (55 lb) bags of cement do I need for this? No gravel will be added.

Does anyone have experience with fast-setting concrete? It is about twice as expensive, harder, but apparently sets faster.

Thanks

Quick construction isn’t really necessary here, is it? Why incur higher costs and deal with more complicated handling when regular concrete works just fine?
