SanDisk Optimus 5100 M.2 500GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Internal SSD
The SanDisk Optimus 5100 500GB NVMe SSD is designed to provide fast, responsive storage for compatible laptops and desktop PCs. Its PCIe 4.0 x4 interface delivers sequential read speeds of up to 6,600MB/s, helping creators and everyday users launch applications, transfer files and manage demanding projects more efficiently. The slim M.2 2280 design makes it suitable for upgrading a compatible system or adding secondary internal storage.
Fast PCIe 4.0 Performance
With sequential read speeds of up to 6,600MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 5,600MB/s, the Optimus 5100 helps reduce waiting times when opening applications, loading projects and copying large files. Random performance of up to 660K read IOPS and 1.1M write IOPS supports responsive everyday multitasking.
Built for Creative Storage
The 500GB capacity provides practical space for applications, working files, high-resolution photographs and video projects. SanDisk nCache 4.0 technology uses an integrated SLC cache to help maintain responsive file transfers and application performance.
Compact M.2 2280 Design
The single-sided M.2 2280 form factor measures just 80mm long and weighs approximately 5.7g. It is designed for compatible laptops and desktop computers equipped with an M.2 2280 slot supporting a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface.
Power-Efficient Storage
An efficient internal design combines PCIe 4.0 performance with average read and write power consumption of approximately 3.8W for this 500GB model. Sleep power consumption is rated at 4mW, helping to limit unnecessary power use when the drive is inactive.
Reliable NAND Technology
The drive uses SanDisk QLC 3D CBA NAND and carries an endurance rating of 300TBW. It is supported by a five-year limited manufacturer warranty, subject to SanDisk's applicable warranty terms and endurance limits.
Drive Monitoring Software
The downloadable SanDisk Dashboard application for Windows allows users to monitor drive performance, review available capacity and check for firmware updates.
