• Dramatically faster workflows: PCIe 5.0 performance and nCache™ 4.0 deliver faster load times, quicker project imports/exports, and snappier software responsiveness so you spend less time waiting and more time creating.
• Smooth multi-tasking under load: Built to handle concurrent read/write operations and large bursts of activity, the drive maintains high throughput in real-world multitasking scenarios—from complex AI model inference to simultaneous video playback and editing.
• Future-proof platform readiness: PCIe 5.0 x4 interface provides headroom for next-generation systems, making this drive an investment in long-term performance and compatibility.
• Compact, system-friendly design: The M.2 2280 form factor with an integrated heatsink makes installation straightforward and helps maintain thermal stability in high-performance builds.

Key features

• PCIe 5.0 x4 performance

Experience next-generation bandwidth with PCIe® 5.0 x4 connectivity that unlocks dramatically higher data transfer rates compared to PCIe 4.0. The Optimus GX PRO 8100 achieves industry-leading sequential throughput—reaching maximum read speeds up to 14,900 MB/s and maximum write speeds up to 13,200 MB/s in optimized configurations—so massive files move in seconds, not minutes.

• Massive 8TB M.2 2280 capacity

Store more projects, assets, and games on a single, compact drive. The 8TB capacity is ideal for professionals and creators who need local access to huge datasets, high-resolution video, uncompressed images, or extensive libraries without relying on slower external storage.

• SANDISK nCache™ 4.0 and NAND architecture

Integrated SANDISK nCache™ 4.0 technology combined with 8th-generation SANDISK BiCS TLC 3D CBA NAND delivers responsive burst write performance and efficient sustained throughput. Large file transfers and random workloads benefit from optimized caching and NAND utilization for smoother, more consistent performance.

• High I/O performance for demanding workloads

Designed for workloads that demand low latency and high IOPS—such as AI inference, database operations, and game streaming—this drive delivers blistering random performance (millions of IOPS on optimized configurations), ensuring rapid access to small files and datasets.

• Heatsink and thermal management for sustained performance

The integrated heatsink helps dissipate heat during prolonged heavy use, maintaining consistent performance for extended editing sessions, long rendering tasks, and marathon gaming runs. This thermal design reduces throttling risk and preserves peak throughput when it matters most.
