    The SanDisk Optimus 5100 is a 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and sequential speeds up to 6,600 MB/s read and 5,600 MB/s write, suited to desktop or laptop users upgrading compatible systems for faster storage.

    Recommended For

    • Laptop users upgrading an M.2 2280 drive for Windows, applications, and frequently used files who value quick everyday access and a power-efficient PCIe 4.0 SSD.
    • Creators keeping a modest set of current photos, high-resolution images, or 4K project files on one drive, rather than using 500GB as their entire long-term media archive.
    • Desktop builders adding a secondary drive for a compact, mostly read-heavy collection of files or applications who want NVMe access without stepping up to a higher-capacity model.
    • PC users who value fast application and file access for routine multitasking, and whose typical storage use is not dominated by prolonged, high-volume writes.
