Unless you have USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 Interface, which basically no one has, the x9 pro will be the same speed
You can get a PM at BB using the live chat.
$55 per TB (for the 4TB) is a lot better than $73 per TB for a (for the 2TB).

The file system issue can be resolved by formatting for mac os and keeping it that way I guess. They may have released a new firmware fix after all the corruption reports, but I doubt it. Crucial doesn't seem to be doing particularly well on the software side. You can reach their support and ask.
People also have solutions online but I didn't look into it as I don't touch Apple products.

After some tweaking and firmware updates, I was able to get around 3500 MB/s transfers from my M1 Pro Macbook Pro with the JEYI and a fast new PCIe 4.0 NVME stick (2TB, but you could buy a 4TB).
Theoretically, PCIe 4.0 is capable of twice that, but not yet in an external enclosure. Note that the internal mac ssd speeds can reach 7000MB/s, as can a recent PC motherboard. There just seems to always be a hit with external speeds; USB4 has a theoretical max of 4800 MB/s, but overhead seems to knock that back to about 3800 MB/s.
There are several other factors besides just getting an enclosure marketed as USB4: Other brands of Mac friendly enclosures: OWC has a good support reputation; and Ocasis makes a TB3 enclosure that will max out around 3000 GB/s.

So this deal is almost 50% more expensive than the best price it has been, which was less than a month ago.
This might be an alright deal if you are in the need, but not a particularly slick deal.
Btw, I bought 2 from Microcenter last month during the deal, and they seem like great drives. I didn't realize how small they are!

PS5 has an internal M.2 storage expansion slot for adding storage. Xbox Series users are stuck having to pay the inflated prices for the WD or Seagate storage expansion cards that are officially authorized for using with Xbox Series consoles.
As for the older gen consoles (PS4/Xbox One), they do not have USB-C, and there are much cheaper options for adding more storage that would perform just as well.
