It's a portable (external) Solid State Drive.
Thanks. Do they still may msata drives?

Although from my understanding Digital Foundry showed theres no difference between a traditional SATA SSD (~500 mbps) and an NVME SSD (~1000mbps; this one), however there is a noticeable difference between either flavor of external SSD and an external mechanical HDD.
The prior generation SATA SSDs have been pretty cheap as theyre getting replaced with newer NVME versions on the shelves. Costco had a 1Tb SATA one for $80 I think not that long ago. Regardless this is a solid price, but with the size of games being what they are now I personally would get a 1Tb external SSD.
I use the T5 for the PS5 as well, but you can only play PS4 games off of it (or simply store PS5 games).
The difference in loading times when using the external SSD for PS4 games is worth it, though, in my opinion.
