Sandisk Optimus GX PRO 850X 1TB M2 2280 SSD With Heatsink SDSP81100TAH
Introducing the SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 850X 1TB M.2 2280 SSD with Heatsink (SDSP81100TAH) — a performance-focused NVMe drive built for gamers, creators, and power users who demand blistering speed, sustained throughput, and reliable thermal management. Housed in the compact M.2 2280 form factor and engineered on trusted SANDISK BiCS TLC 3D NAND, this 1TB PCIe® 4.0 x4 SSD pairs cutting-edge controller technology with SANDISK nCache™ 4.0 to deliver fast boot times, instantaneous level loads, and smooth media editing workflows. The integrated SANDISK Optimus heatsink not only looks the part in modern rigs but actively helps keep performance elevated under long, intense workloads.
Benefits
- Faster load times and snappier system responsiveness: Dramatically reduce game load screens, accelerate application launches, and speed up OS boot with PCIe 4.0 performance that consistently outpaces older SATA and PCIe 3.0 drives.
- Smooth multitasking and real-time editing: High sustained sequential and random throughput paired with nCache 4.0 enables seamless playback and scrubbing of high-bitrate video, rapid export times, and fluid multi-app workflows.
- Sustained peak performance under stress: The integrated heatsink helps dissipate heat to minimize thermal throttling during long gaming sessions, rendering runs, or bulk transfers, preserving performance when it matters most.
- Future-ready feature set: Support for Microsoft® DirectStorage and TCG Opal v2.01 encryption gives you compatibility with next-generation gaming I/O and a hardware-backed option for protecting data at rest.
- Versatile compatibility: Designed for gaming desktops, creator workstations, and high-performance laptops that accept M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 drives — a straightforward upgrade for those seeking a major boost in system responsiveness.
- Feature — PCIe® 4.0 x4 Performance: Delivers class-leading sequential and random throughput. Expect sequential reads/writes well above 4000 MB/s, with peak capabilities on higher-capacity SKUs reaching up to the multi-gigabyte-per-second range for blistering transfer speeds.
- Feature — Integrated SANDISK Optimus Heatsink: An eye-catching, functional heatsink reduces thermal throttling during sustained transfers and heavy workloads, maintaining higher performance for longer.
- Feature — SANDISK BiCS TLC 3D NAND & nCache™ 4.0: Robust 3D TLC NAND combined with intelligent caching boosts sustained write performance and responsiveness for both gaming and creative tasks.
- Feature — Advanced Security & Modern I/O: TCG Opal v2.01 data-at-rest encryption for protecting sensitive projects and compatibility with DirectStorage to accelerate future game load paths and asset streaming.
- Feature — Compact M.2 2280 Form Factor: Easy to install in compatible motherboards and laptops, providing a high-capacity, high-performance storage solution without sacrificing space or system compatibility.
