Our take on the SanDisk Optimus 5100 1TB NVMe SSD

The SanDisk Optimus 5100 is a 1TB internal SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor that runs on PCIe Gen 4.0 and is rated for sequential reads up to 7,100MB/s. That read figure puts it among the quicker Gen 4 drives, so it suits gaming PCs, laptops and workstations that already have a Gen 4 M.2 slot. Against mainstream Gen 4 rivals it trades on speed and the SanDisk name rather than extras like a heatsink or bundled software. Owners rate it highly, and the main things to weigh are heat under sustained writes and whether your slot is Gen 4.

Questions and answers

Will it fit my laptop?
It is an M.2 2280 drive, the most common internal SSD size. Check that your laptop has a free M.2 slot that supports NVMe.
Do I need a PCIe Gen 4 motherboard?
For the rated 7,100MB/s reads, yes. On a Gen 3 slot it still works but runs at Gen 3 speeds.
Does it come with a heatsink?
No. The drive is bare, so a desktop board's M.2 heatsink or an aftermarket one is worth using.
Is 1TB enough for games?
It holds a large library, but modern games are big. Heavy players often pair it with a second drive.
Is it worth it over a Gen 3 drive?
If your system supports Gen 4, the higher read speed helps with large file transfers and game loads. On a Gen 3 machine, the gain is smaller.
Where is the SanDisk Optimus 5100 1TB NVMe SSD cheapest?
