Priced at $999 for 2TB, the Optimus GX PRO 8100 is SanDisk's PCIe 5.0 flagship, pushing 14,900/14,000 MB/s sequential and random IOPS above 2.3 million on the back of a DRAM-backed design. A 1,200TB endurance rating and 5-year warranty back up throughput that roughly doubles every gen4 drive in this lineup. It's built for workstation and high-end content-creation loads where PCIe 5.0 bandwidth actually gets used, not casual desktop tasks.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

Reviewers called the 8TB version the finest high-capacity PCIe 5.0 drive they had tested, with high all-around performance and exceptional random read latency.
It was praised for good power efficiency, drawing well under the earliest high-end Gen5 drives while sustaining top-tier throughput.
It ships with SanDisk's Dashboard and Acronis software and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Commonly criticised

Its price was the main criticism, with the drive costing noticeably more than the equivalent WD Black SN8100 at review time.
