The SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 is a 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with an integrated heatsink, suited to compatible desktop builds for gamers and professionals who need fast storage for large libraries and demanding projects.
Recommended For
- Video editors and other creators who regularly move large 4K/8K footage, image sets, or project files and have a PCIe 5.0-capable M.2 slot.
- AI-PC and workstation users who frequently load large datasets or run write-intensive content-creation and AI video workflows; the drive is positioned for these tasks and has a 2,400 TBW endurance rating at 4TB.
- Desktop PC builders who want a high-capacity, fast internal drive for a large game library alongside other frequently used files, and whose motherboard supports PCIe 5.0 M.2 storage.
- Users with sustained, storage-heavy workloads who value fast file transfers and low-latency access; independent testing found the GX Pro 8100 among the strongest performers across its SSD benchmarks.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- An editor working with large 8K footage and full-frame image projects can keep more active media on the 4TB drive and move large files quickly; actual transfer speed also depends on the source, destination, and editing system.
- A PC gamer with a large collection of AAA titles can keep more games installed on one drive and spend less time waiting on storage-related loads or installs; the size of any improvement depends on the game and the rest of the PC.
- Someone running local AI tools can store models and large application datasets on the drive and access them as projects change; faster storage can help with data access, but it does not replace the system’s GPU or memory for AI processing.
- A creator who regularly moves large video, image, or project files between compatible high-speed storage devices can use the SSD as fast working storage; the receiving drive and connection can limit real-world transfer rates.
- A builder assembling a PCIe 5.0 desktop can use the included heatsink for the SSD’s M.2 slot, provided the motherboard layout has clearance; checking slot compatibility and heatsink fit before installation helps avoid conflicts.

Reference Q&A
Q: SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 4TB or Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB—which should I choose?
A: Both are PCIe 5.0 x4, 4TB M.2 2280 SSDs. Choose the SanDisk if its rated sequential speeds of up to 14,900/14,000 MB/s and the included heatsink in this SKU suit your build. Choose the Samsung if its 4GB DRAM cache or higher rated random-write speed—up to 2.6 million IOPS versus SanDisk’s 2.4 million—is more relevant to your workload. These are manufacturer ratings; actual performance depends on the system and workload.
Q: Should I get the 2TB or 4TB SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100?
A: Choose 4TB if you need more room for games, project files, or other large data, or want the higher rated endurance: 2,400 TBW versus 1,200 TBW for 2TB. Both capacities are rated for up to 14,900 MB/s sequential reads and 14,000 MB/s writes, so the 4TB model’s main stated advantages are capacity and endurance, not higher peak sequential speed.
Q: Is the SanDisk Optimus GX PRO 8100 worth choosing over a Samsung 990 PRO?
A: Choose the GX PRO 8100 if you have a PCIe 5.0-capable system and expect to benefit from faster large sequential transfers: its 4TB model is rated up to 14,900/14,000 MB/s, while Samsung lists up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s for the PCIe 4.0 990 PRO. The 990 PRO is a practical alternative when PCIe 4.0 performance meets your needs; compare current prices and your workload before paying for Gen5 speeds.
Q: Is the Optimus GX PRO 8100 a worthwhile upgrade from a WD Black SN8100?
A: Not for a performance upgrade alone: Tom’s Hardware describes the GX PRO 8100 as the WD Black SN8100 under a new name, and a separate review identifies the GX PRO 8100 as the renamed SN8100 with the same hardware specifications. If you already own an SN8100, compare the exact models’ heatsinks, capacity, and price before switching.
Q: Will this SSD work with my motherboard, and will I get its full speed?
A: It requires an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe. To reach its advertised sequential speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s read and 14,000 MB/s write, the system must also support PCIe 5.0 x4; actual speeds depend on the motherboard and workload. Check the motherboard’s M.2 slot specifications before buying.
Q: Will the heatsink version fit in my laptop?
A: Not necessarily. This drive is an M.2 2280 model with an attached heatsink and a listed height of 9.76 mm. Before buying, confirm that the laptop’s M.2 slot has enough physical clearance and supports an NVMe drive; the product information does not establish compatibility with specific laptop models.
Q: Is this SSD suitable for gaming and large creative projects?
A: It is suited to a desktop with a compatible PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot when you need 4TB for game libraries or large project files and benefit from fast storage. Its listed peak speeds are not a guarantee of faster game performance or shorter waits in every application.
Q: Can I use this SSD with my motherboard’s M.2 heatsink?
A: The drive already has an integrated heatsink. Check the motherboard manual and slot clearance before installation to confirm the drive fits with the board’s M.2 cover; do not assume the cover can be installed over the drive’s heatsink.
Q: Is the Optimus GX Pro 8100 essentially the same drive as the WD Black SN8100?
A: A Reddit post describes the GX Pro 8100 as a renamed SN8100 variant and treats them as alternatives when looking for a drive. The product data identifies this model as a 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD with a heatsink.
Q: Is the 4TB model suitable for a gaming-focused PC build?
A: A Reddit gaming-PC build lists the 4TB GX Pro 8100 as its storage drive. It provides 4TB of capacity and a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface; confirm that the motherboard has a compatible M.2 2280 NVMe slot.
