There are 8 bits in 1 byte. So if you want to compare the speed, it would actually be ~16x slower to download vs transfer from this drive into internal PS5/XSX console.

But at this price it's only a few bucks more that SATA external SSD's so a no brainer if you ever swap it out and use this on your computers. Then you will drastically notice the speed increase if you start large files.
I don't expect full on NVME PCIe 3+ speeds, but surely it's gotta be faster.
An external SSD sped up load times on my XBox One considerably- it's a must buy IMO. This is about the same price as a SSD + external enclosure.
Sure. I would use it to shuffle games in and out of the internal SSD if it is an Xbox Series S|X only game. However, most games aren't really using the full internal SSD speed (as a requirement) so it's really a non-issue for now.
I wouldn't bother on Xbox One, personally. I would just save that money towards Xbox Series X instead.

The Costco model number is "SDSSDE61-1T00-AC".
Any idea if "-G25" differs from "-AC" in some unspecified way?
