Crucial X6
Score: 69/100
SanDisk Fortnite Portable SSD
Score: 63/100Rankings
The Crucial X6 1TB offers a feather-light, rugged package with hardware encryption and broad device support, though its real-world speeds fall short of the advertised 800 MB/s. It is best for travelers, students and casual users who prioritize portability and price over top-tier performance.
The SanDisk 1TB Fortnite Portable SSD Peely Edition offers a themed design with 1 TB of storage and up to 800 MB/s read speeds via USB 3.2 Gen 2. It lacks hardware encryption and its performance is lower than premium SSDs, making it best suited for gamers who value style and portability.
