Description

The SanDisk Optimus GX 7100 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe Solid State Drive is designed for compatible computers that use an M.2 NVMe internal storage connection. Its compact 2280 form factor measures 22 mm wide and 80 mm long, making it suitable for systems designed to accommodate this SSD format.
