High-Capacity 4TB Storage

The Optimus 5100 provides 4TB of solid-state storage, offering substantial space for operating systems, applications, high-resolution photography, 4K video projects, games and other large files.

SanDisk defines 1TB as one trillion bytes. Actual usable capacity will be lower after formatting, operating-system requirements and other system-related factors.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe Performance

The drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe technology to provide significantly higher bandwidth than traditional SATA storage. When installed in a compatible PCIe 4.0 system, the 4TB model can deliver sequential read speeds of up to 6,900MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,700MB/s.

Actual performance varies depending on the host system, workload, firmware, drive capacity and operating conditions.

Up to 6,900MB/s Sequential Read

Sequential read performance of up to 6,900MB/s helps accelerate application loading, large-file access and demanding creative workflows. This makes the Optimus 5100 particularly useful for users working with high-resolution media and other data-intensive projects.

Up to 6,700MB/s Sequential Write

Sequential write speeds of up to 6,700MB/s provide fast handling of large file transfers, project saves and content-creation workloads.

The 4TB model has its own performance profile and should not be confused with the 1TB and 2TB versions, which SanDisk rates for up to 7,100MB/s sequential read performance.

Fast Random Performance

The 4TB Optimus 5100 delivers random read performance of up to 900,000 IOPS and random write performance of up to 1.1 million IOPS. Strong random performance helps improve system responsiveness during application multitasking, operating-system activity and workloads involving many smaller files.

8th-Generation SanDisk BiCS QLC NAND

The Optimus 5100 uses SanDisk's 8th-generation BiCS QLC 3D CBA NAND technology. This high-density flash architecture allows SanDisk to offer capacities up to 4TB in the compact M.2 2280 form factor while maintaining high PCIe 4.0 performance.

SanDisk nCache 4.0 Technology

Integrated SanDisk nCache 4.0 technology uses an SLC caching architecture to help accelerate common write operations and file transfers. This contributes to responsive application performance and smoother multitasking during everyday creative and productivity workloads.

Host Memory Buffer

The Optimus 5100 uses Host Memory Buffer technology, allowing the NVMe controller to make use of a small portion of compatible system memory for drive-management functions. This supports an efficient, compact SSD architecture while maintaining strong PCIe 4.0 performance.

1,200 TBW Endurance

The 4TB model carries an endurance rating of up to 1,200 TBW, calculated using the JEDEC client workload standard. This makes it suitable for demanding client workloads including video editing, productivity suites and regular large-file operations.

TBW represents the total amount of data that can be written to the drive under the manufacturer's specified endurance measurement methodology.

Up to 1.75 Million Hours MTTF

SanDisk rates the Optimus 5100 family for up to 1.75 million hours Mean Time To Failure under its specified internal reliability testing methodology, providing additional confidence for everyday internal-storage use.

Power-Efficient Design

The Optimus 5100 is designed to provide high performance while maintaining efficient power consumption. SanDisk specifies approximately 4.3W average power during sequential read and write activity for the 4TB version, with sleep power as low as approximately 4.5mW.

This efficiency can be particularly useful in compatible notebooks, while also helping reduce unnecessary power consumption in desktop systems.

Compact M.2 2280 Form Factor

Measuring approximately 80 × 22 × 2.38 mm and weighing only around 5.7 g, the drive uses the widely adopted M.2 2280 form factor.

Installation requires a compatible M.2 2280 slot supporting PCIe NVMe storage. Users should confirm motherboard or notebook compatibility before purchase.

Designed for Creators

SanDisk positions the Optimus 5100 for creative users requiring a combination of high capacity, strong PCIe performance and affordability. The 4TB version provides ample space for large video projects, high-resolution image libraries, productivity applications and other demanding workflows.

Security Features

The drive supports TCG Pyrite 2.01 as well as ATA Security passthrough over NVMe. These features provide compatible systems and management software with additional drive-level security capabilities.

SanDisk Dashboard Software

The downloadable SanDisk Dashboard application for Windows allows users to monitor supported SSD information, check drive health and obtain applicable firmware updates.

The software is downloaded separately and is not physically included with the drive.

Acronis True Image for SanDisk

Compatible purchasers can also use Acronis True Image for SanDisk software to migrate data from an existing storage device to the Optimus 5100. Download, installation and applicable licensing or redemption requirements apply, and a separate enclosure or cable may be required depending on the migration setup.

Shock and Vibration Resistance

With no moving mechanical components, the SSD is designed to tolerate the vibration and shock associated with compatible mobile and desktop computing environments. SanDisk specifies operating vibration resistance of 5 gRMS and shock resistance of up to 1,500G at 0.5 ms half-sine under its defined test conditions.
