We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

First of all, you can remove SanDisk SSDs from your list. Crucial internals are fine, however, I am not really sure about the external drives. One of the most decent external drive is Samsung t7 for me, really had no issues with it, the only thing that it gets hot after intensive use, but, I believe it's the case for any external SSD.
I have a crucial external 1 TB from 4 years ago.
I haven't used it in 2 years; but I used it for installing skyrim mods. It worked fine and allowed the game to load with almost 1 TB of mods. The weird part was that when I did some "patching" process to the modlist, which takes 1-2 hours while at work, the disk always stopped being read in the middle of the process, something that didn't happen when I did it at home. Since balance at that level is extremely important and idk, some file might have corrupted, I always restored from my backup before attempting the process again.
The best description about crucial drives, I believe, that it's just works. No major issues with it so far.
