3. HDD Vs. SSD performance for Fortnite

It’s always preferred to have your most-used apps and games stored on a hard disk as long as you will have no space constraints.

But does Fortnite benefit from the faster access of a solid-state drive? Many users on Reddit tried the same, and the results were pretty consistent.

Fortnite Battle Royale has no performance boost by being stored on a solid-state drive (SSD) than being stored on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

Thus you can easily install Fortnite on your HDD if you have no space in your solid-state drive.

According to Epic Games, Fortnite for PC at least required 4GB RAM, with 8GB being the recommended specification. Those of you with eight gigs of RAM or more can rest assured that you would have a smooth gameplay experience.
