SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 M.2 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Internal SSD
The SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 is a high-performance 2TB internal SSD designed for professional workstations, creator PCs, AI workflows and demanding gaming systems. Its PCIe 5.0 x4 interface delivers sequential read speeds of up to 14,900MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 14,000MB/s, helping compatible systems load large projects, applications and games more quickly.
PCIe 5.0 Performance for Demanding Workloads
Built for systems with a compatible M.2 slot, the Optimus GX PRO 8100 combines the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 technology. The 2TB model provides random read performance of up to 2.3 million IOPS and random write performance of up to 2.4 million IOPS, supporting responsive multitasking, large file transfers and data-intensive workflows.
Advanced SanDisk Storage Technology
Eighth-generation SanDisk BiCS TLC 3D CBA NAND provides 2TB of storage for large application datasets, high-resolution media, games and project files. Integrated SanDisk nCache 4.0 technology supports burst write performance during demanding transfers, while the onboard DRAM cache helps the drive manage active workloads efficiently.
Designed for Endurance
With an endurance rating of 1,200TBW, this 2TB SSD is engineered for write-intensive professional and creative workloads. It also supports TCG Opal 2.02 data-at-rest encryption when enabled through compatible motherboard BIOS or third-party software.
Power-Efficient M.2 Design
The compact M.2 2280-S3-M form factor fits compatible desktops and workstations without occupying a conventional drive bay. Average active power is rated at 6.4W during reads and 7.0W during writes, with a 5mW PS4 sleep mode.
Key Features:
- 2TB storage capacity for large projects, application datasets and game libraries.
- Sequential read speeds of up to 14,900MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 14,000MB/s.
- Random performance of up to 2.3 million read IOPS and 2.4 million write IOPS.
- PCIe 5.0 x4 and NVMe 2.0 interface for compatible high-performance systems.
- Eighth-generation SanDisk BiCS TLC 3D CBA NAND with DRAM and SanDisk nCache 4.0.
- 1,200TBW endurance rating for demanding, write-intensive workloads.
- TCG Opal 2.02 support for compatible data-at-rest encryption solutions.
Compatibility
This drive requires a compatible M.2 2280 slot. It supports PCIe 5.0 x4 and is backward compatible with supported PCIe 4.0, PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2.0 configurations; performance is limited by the host interface.
