SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 8TB

The SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 is an 8TB internal solid state drive built for professionals who need high-capacity, high-speed storage. It uses a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol and 3D NAND TLC memory. A low-profile anodised aluminium heatsink with RGB LED is integrated for thermal management.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits content creators, AI developers and enthusiasts handling massive project libraries and write-intensive workloads. The 4800 TBW endurance rating supports heavy sustained writing. Users with older motherboards lacking PCIe 5.0 x4 slots or those needing only modest capacity for general office work should consider lower-specification alternatives.

Behaviour under sustained load

Under continuous heavy workloads the integrated heatsink helps maintain performance during intense workflows. Average active power draw is 7.1W for reads and 7.3W for writes while idle consumption is 5 mW. The drive operates between 0°C and 85°C with an MTBF of 1,750,000 hours.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 5.0 x4 support to use this 8TB Optimus GX PRO 8100?

Yes, the drive uses an M.2 2280-D5-M form factor and requires a PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 slot to reach its rated 14,900 MBps read and 13,200 MBps write speeds.

Will the integrated heatsink on this 8TB model clear a PCIe 4.0 graphics card mounted directly above the M.2 slot?

The anodized aluminum heatsink adds 11.25 mm of height above the PCB, so clearance depends on your specific motherboard layout and graphics card backplate thickness.

How can I verify the drive is delivering its rated 2,200,000 random read IOPS after installation?

Run a 4 KB random read test at queue depth 32 using a tool such as CrystalDiskMark or FIO and compare the result to the 2,200,000 IOPS specification.
