Meet the SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 8100 2TB NVMe SSD — a purpose-built storage powerhouse engineered for professionals, creators, and gamers who demand uncompromising speed, capacity, and reliability. Built on the M.2 2280 form factor and optimized for PCIe® 5.0 x4 platforms, this drive brings next-generation performance to real-world workflows: move massive datasets, render 8K timelines, load AAA titles, and run AI inference with fluid responsiveness and minimal latency. The SDSP82200TAN-000E0 model pairs SANDISK’s trusted engineering with advanced thermal management to sustain blistering throughput when it matters most.

Benefits

• Unmatched responsiveness: Experience virtually instant access to large projects and applications thanks to sequential read/write performance that reaches up to 14,900/14,000 MB/s for supported capacities — dramatically shrinking load, save, and transfer times.
• Optimized for AI and heavy workloads: Exceptional random IOPS (up to the millions) and SANDISK nCache™ 4.0 deliver the burst write performance and low-latency reads that modern AI models, databases, and content-creation pipelines rely on.
• More room for your work: The 2TB capacity provides ample space for multiple large creative projects, game libraries, and datasets, while the platform’s architecture scales up to larger capacities when you need them.
• Effortless integration: M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe 5.0 x4 interface make installation straightforward in cutting-edge desktops and workstations. PC Builder Rated for compatibility and ease of use.
• Thermal stability under pressure: Designed to manage heat effectively with its heatsink and efficient NAND, the drive maintains consistent performance during sustained workloads like rendering, transcoding, and live capture.

Key features

• Blazing PCIe 5.0 Performance: Leveraging PCIe® 5.0 x4, the Optimus GX PRO 8100 reaches sequential read/write speeds up to 14,900/14,000 MB/s (on supported capacities), delivering a generational leap in throughput that transforms how fast you can move and process large files.
• Massive IOPS and SANDISK nCache™ 4.0: With up to 2.3M/2.4M IOPS (on larger capacities) and the latest nCache technology, this SSD provides exceptional random read/write responsiveness and sustained burst write capability — ideal for database operations, complex AI workflows, and high-frame-rate media editing.
• High-density, next-gen NAND: Built using SANDISK’s 8th generation BiCS TLC 3D CBA NAND, the drive offers an excellent balance of density, endurance, and efficiency. The result is higher capacities in the compact M.2 2280 footprint without sacrificing performance.
• Thermally tuned with a heatsink: The included heatsink and thermal-aware firmware work together to dissipate heat and preserve peak performance during long sessions of rendering, gaming marathons, or continuous content capture, helping prevent throttling under load.
• Designed for creators, pros, and builders: From seamless integration in custom rigs to drop-in upgrades for pro workstations, the Optimus GX PRO 8100 is PC Builder Rated and engineered to meet the needs of power users — supporting massive application datasets, 8K video workflows, full-frame RAW libraries, and demanding AAA game installs.
