Description
SANDISK Optimus™ 5100 PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD, 2TB, Read 7,100MB/s Write 6,700MB/s, 5 Yr Warranty
The SanDisk Optimus 5100 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,700 MB/s using a high-bandwidth PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. This compact M.2 2280 drive provides a responsive storage upgrade for modern systems requiring rapid file transfers and quick boot times.
Rapid PCIe 4.0 throughput for demanding applications
By utilising the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, this SSD maximises data transfer rates to reduce loading screens and speed up system responsiveness. The drive achieves random read performance of up to 1,000,000 IOPS and random write performance of up to 1,300,000 IOPS, ensuring swift multitasking and smooth handling of complex files. These high input/output operations per second mean the drive can process thousands of small files simultaneously, which translates to faster game loading, quicker asset rendering, and snappier operating system navigation. Built with SanDisk 8th Gen BiCS QLC 3D CBA NAND, this DRAM-less architecture leverages system resources efficiently to maintain high performance without the added cost or power consumption of a dedicated physical DRAM cache. The 8th Gen BiCS QLC 3D CBA NAND technology stacks memory cells vertically to deliver high-capacity storage in a compact physical footprint, allowing you to store large game libraries, high-resolution media, and extensive project files on a single drive.
Optimised power management for cooler operation
Designed with power efficiency in mind, the drive consumes only 4.1 W during active operation and drops to an exceptionally low 4 mW when idle. This minimal idle power draw makes it an ideal choice for laptops and portable devices, helping to preserve battery life while reducing overall system heat. The drive is rated to operate reliably within a wide temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, ensuring stable performance even under sustained workloads in compact chassis with limited airflow.
| Active Power Consumption | 4.1 W |
| Idle Power Consumption | 4 mW |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 85°C |
| Non-Operating Temperature | -40°C to 85°C |
Standard M.2 2280 compatibility for easy integration
The standard M.2 2280 form factor ensures broad compatibility across desktop motherboards and modern laptops. Because of its slim, single-sided design, the drive fits easily into tight system slots without interfering with surrounding components or cooling solutions. This makes it a straightforward upgrade path for users transitioning from older SATA drives or slower PCIe Gen3 storage.
Data protection and long-term endurance
To safeguard your digital assets, the drive features robust security protocols, including TCG Pyrite 2.01 and ATA Security passthrough over NVMe. With an endurance rating of 900 TBW (Terabytes Written) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,750,000 hours, this SSD is engineered for long-term reliability. Your investment is further backed by a 5-Year Limited Warranty, providing peace of mind for years of daily computing.
