Technical Overview
The SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 leverages the PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe interface to achieve its remarkable throughput. With a reported maximum sequential read of 14.55 GB/s and write of 10.74 GB/s, it more than doubles the bandwidth of previous-generation PCIe 4.0 drives. The 1 TB capacity provides ample space for operating systems, applications, and frequently accessed data.
Random 4K performance reaches 1,600,000 IOPS for reads and 2,400,000 IOPS for writes, ensuring snappy multitasking and quick access to numerous small files common in database and virtualization workloads. The drive's low latency is complemented by its M.2 2280 form factor, which allows direct installation on compatible motherboards without additional cables. The 600 TBW endurance rating indicates solid durability for high-write environments.
