I was thinking about using it with my 2017 shield TV. Basically looking for the fastest storage knowing that the USB 3.0 ports will be the bottleneck... Any advice?
* New USB-C 3.2 port, USB-C to USB-C cable, and USB-C to USB-A adapter.
* Spec listed read speed up to 800 MB/sec (the box listed up to 540 MB/sec).
* Work with PC, Mac, Android, iPad Pro, PS4, and Xbox One.

Agreed, it's 2022 and going into 2023... These should be banned and discontinued
USB C is pretty much a POS interface too IMO.
It's wears out, has no real attachment strength, and ultimately will lead to more port failures.
I got my first USB C computer over 6 years ago and had to have the C port replaced in the first two years. Attachments would always "fall out".
I've had several USB C phones and the ports wear out and the charging cable gets "slippery*. Check phone repairs for verification.
USB C is a solution to one problem (with A, inserting a cable was always the wrong way), while causing a new set of multiple problems. We're stuck with it now though....

I don't know how you got so much bad luck with USB C but it's has been working perfectly fine for me. They haven't worn out, gotten slippery, or had port failures.
And to clarify because it seems that some people assume this, I'm perfectly fine to keep USB A as long as possible since so many PCs still use it.... I just want anything microUSB related banned and discontinued and ONLY that, and specifically that stupid microUSB 3.0 plug and port. It might as well as be some stupid proprietary external HDD / SSH port since you never see it on smartphones (aside the Samsung S5) or any other devices.
More than likely there is not a suitable interface you can connect, or attach, to anything else.
Really? I've done this for literally decades with other external drives. Every time it's just a typical SATA drive, just depends on which one. If this had some kind of proprietary interface, it would be a first for me. And why would it? Have you actually ever cracked one open?

Are these ssds the same type of drives as NVME ones or are they something completely proprietary and different design?
I'm curious if anyone thinks 1tb SSDs will ever go below $50.
Wondering how well this compares in performance to an NVME 1tb ssd running in an external enclosure.( but doing that will run around $78 minimum),
and also wondering how it compares to the better Samsung T7 external that went on sale last week for $80, but now $90.
Prices will always go down eventually. The speed will always be limited by the USB Bus speed. It will never match internal bus speeds of NVME. In most cases buying a quality built external SSD will be faster then 3rd party enclosures. The enclosures are meant to repurpose NVME rather then make your own external drive. They use the cheapest components possible because the DIY market for highend external drives has been dead for the last decade.
I wouldn't buy this because it isn't USB-C. This is an older unit they're just trying to flush out of the system.
