Handheld-Sized Storage Without the Handheld-Sized Speed Penalty
Sequential reads up to 7,080 MB/s, up to 1 million random read IOPS, and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, all packed onto an M.2 2230 board barely longer than a thumb drive: the SanDisk Optimus GX 7100M brings full-size NVMe performance to the compact 2230 slot. At 2TB, it turns a cramped handheld or ultrathin laptop into a proper game library. Browse more Western Digital storage or other solid state drives.
Where the 7100M Fits
The M.2 2230 form factor is the short, single-slot size used by handheld gaming PCs and many thin notebooks, and that is exactly what the 7100M is built for. SanDisk lists compatibility with the Steam Deck, MSI Claw, Microsoft Surface, and Dell laptops, so a stock 256GB or 512GB drive can jump to a full 2TB. A power-efficient design keeps battery drain in check during long sessions away from a charger, and DirectStorage support means the drive is ready for games that stream assets directly from storage.
What It Delivers
- 2TB on an M.2 2230 board: the compact 22mm by 30mm size that fits handhelds and ultrathin laptops.
- Up to 7,080 MB/s reads: PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe sequentials, with writes up to 6,740 MB/s.
