Description
SANDISK Optimus™ 5100 PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD, 1TB, Read 7,100MB/s Write 6,700MB/s, 5 Yr Warranty
The SanDisk Optimus 5100 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD delivers sequential read speeds up to 7,100 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 6,700 MB/s, leveraging 8th Gen BiCS QLC 3D CBA NAND to accelerate system boot times and file transfers. Built in the compact M.2 2280 form factor, this drive offers a high-capacity upgrade path for modern motherboards and laptops.
High-speed PCIe Gen4 performance for responsive computing
Operating on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, this drive maximises bandwidth to handle demanding workloads. It achieves random read performance of up to 1,000,000 IOPS and random write performance of up to 1,300,000 IOPS, which translates directly to faster game level loading, rapid application launches, and swift multitasking. The DRAM-less architecture is engineered to maintain high efficiency while delivering the responsiveness required for everyday computing and content creation.
Optimised power efficiency and thermal tolerance
Designed for both desktop and portable systems, the drive manages power intelligently. It consumes just 4 mW of power when idle, helping preserve laptop battery life, and averages 4.1 W during active read and write operations. The drive operates reliably across a wide temperature range from 0°C to 85°C, ensuring consistent performance even inside compact laptop chassis or systems with minimal airflow.
Built for physical durability and long-term endurance
With an endurance rating of 600 TBW (Terabytes Written) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,750,000 hours, this SSD is engineered for long-term reliability. It features exceptional physical resilience, including shock resistance up to 1,500G at 0.5 ms half-sine and vibration resistance of 5 gRMS during operation. This robust physical build helps protect your data against accidental bumps and drops. Additionally, the drive is backed by a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
Comprehensive drive management and cloning tools
To help you maintain peak performance and secure your data, the drive comes with dedicated software tools. The SanDisk Dashboard, available for Windows, allows you to monitor drive health, temperature, and firmware status in real time. For straightforward system upgrades, Acronis True Image for SanDisk is included to simplify the process of cloning your existing operating system and backing up critical files.
Physical and environmental specifications
The drive's physical dimensions and structural ratings make it highly compatible with a wide variety of systems.
