XPG SX8100 4TB M.2 2280 SSD

The XPG SX8100 is a 4TB internal solid-state drive built for desktop PCs. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface with 3D NAND flash. Sequential speeds reach up to 3500 MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write. It is aimed at DIY enthusiasts, overclockers and graphics professionals who need large, fast storage.

Suits heavy workloads, not Gen4 slots

This drive suits users moving large project files, game libraries or video footage who want Gen3 endpoint performance. Random reads hit 290,000 IOPS and writes 240,000 IOPS, while SLC caching and a DRAM buffer smooth burst workloads. Endurance is rated at 2560 TBW with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF. Buyers whose motherboards only support PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 NVMe speeds should consider a newer-generation drive instead.

PCIe 3.0 x4 interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. Your motherboard must provide an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 (or backward-compatible 4.0/5.0) to run this SSD at its rated 3500/3000 MB/s. Without that link the drive will not operate at advertised throughput, so verify the slot generation before purchase.

Questions about this item

What M.2 slot key and PCIe generation does my motherboard need for the SX8100 4TB?

The SX8100 4TB uses an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface, so your motherboard must provide an M-keyed M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 or higher.

Will the SX8100 4TB work in a system that only has PCIe 2.0 M.2 slots?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible and will operate in a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot, but sequential speeds will be limited to the 2.0 bandwidth ceiling instead of the rated 3500 MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write.

How can I verify the SX8100 4TB is delivering its rated performance after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; you should see reads approaching 3500 MB/s and writes near 3000 MB/s on a PCIe 3.0 x4 link, with 4K random results around 290,000 IOPS read and 240,000 IOPS write.
