SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 8100 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD
Professionals, creators, and gamers deserve optimal storage performance for demanding AI workflows and intense gaming sessions.
The SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 8100 2TB NVMe SSD is designed for users who need exceptional storage speed for demanding workloads, gaming, content creation and AI applications. Using PCIe 5.0 x4 connectivity and the compact M.2 2280 form factor, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 14,900MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 14,000MB/s. With random read performance reaching up to 2.3 million IOPS, large files, applications and game data can be accessed and transferred with minimal delay.
This 2TB SSD is supplied without a heatsink, making it a practical choice for compatible desktops, workstations, AI PCs, gaming PCs and creator systems that already have suitable M.2 cooling. The drive also uses SANDISK nCache 4.0 technology to improve burst write performance and is built with 8th generation SANDISK BiCS TLC 3D CBA NAND.
PCIe 5.0 NVMe Storage Performance
The Optimus GX PRO 8100 is built for high-performance systems where fast storage can make a noticeable difference. Its PCIe 5.0 x4 interface provides significantly greater bandwidth than PCIe 4.0 storage, helping reduce load times and accelerate demanding file operations.
For the 2TB model, key performance figures include:
Fast Storage for AI and Professional Workloads
Fast random access performance is particularly useful for AI workloads, large datasets and applications that work with many files simultaneously. The high IOPS capability of the SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 8100 helps support responsive multitasking, while nCache 4.0 technology provides fast burst write performance during large file transfers.
It is well suited to demanding applications such as AI production workflows, scientific and financial simulations, 3D modelling, professional content creation and other storage-intensive tasks.
2TB Capacity for Games and Digital Content
With 2TB of storage, there is plenty of space for modern PC games, applications, high-resolution video projects, image libraries and other large digital assets. The M.2 2280 design also keeps the drive compact, making it suitable for systems where internal space is limited.
For gamers, the high sequential performance can help reduce game loading times and speed up the movement of large game files. Creators can also benefit when working with large video, image and project files.
Designed for Sustained Performance
The SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 8100 range is engineered for demanding write-intensive workloads and uses TLC NAND technology for a balance of performance, capacity and endurance. The SSD is designed for high-performance desktops, workstations, AI PCs, gamer PCs and creator PCs.
The 2TB model is supplied without a heatsink, so users should ensure their motherboard or system provides appropriate M.2 cooling for the intended workload. Effective cooling can be particularly important when the drive is subjected to sustained high-speed transfers.
Efficient PCIe 5.0 Storage
Despite its high performance, the drive is designed with power efficiency in mind. SANDISK states that selected capacities in the range can provide more than twice the power efficiency of its PCIe Gen 4.0 SSDs, helping balance high-speed operation with thermal management.
The result is a high-performance NVMe storage solution suited to users who want to take advantage of PCIe 5.0 without moving to a larger storage device.
Ideal for High Performance PCs
The SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 8100 2TB is a strong choice for:
