Optimus GX 7100M 1TB NVMe SSD

The Optimus GX 7100M is a 1TB internal SSD built for handheld gaming consoles and compatible laptops. Its M.2 2230 form factor fits space-constrained devices such as the Steam Deck, MSI Claw, Microsoft Surface and select Dell laptops. The drive uses 3D NAND TLC memory and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 protocol.

Capacity and headroom for gaming libraries

The 1TB capacity provides ample room for large AAA titles and expanding game libraries. Sequential reads reach up to 7250 MBps and writes up to 6900 MBps, while random performance hits 1000000 IOPS read and 1300000 IOPS write. Endurance is rated at 600 TBW with a 1750000 hour MTBF, giving long-term headroom for heavy write workloads.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

The drive operates without a heatsink across a 0°C to 85°C range. Idle power consumption is 5 mW, while active averages are 3.5W for reads and 3.8W for writes. This power-efficient architecture helps preserve battery life during extended gaming sessions on handhelds and laptops.
