Just wondering, can I connect this to my Orbi router, using USB C to Ethernet adapter and able to see on Network?
I am looking for a network drive so that I can access wireless.

Wow, somebody care that much about the reputation of a company, must have ulterior motive.
"Honour of a great company"... Really? In America, we spell honor! 😉

Yup, I use it with my PS4. Noticeably faster load times. Plus 500 gigs internal storage isn't sufficient for more than half a dozen games.

Biggest benefit is
no moving parts.
How many times have you dropped a thumb drive and it still worked?
Now how many times have you dropped a HDD and it still worked?
Same concept.

in general the case for DRAM is
1: less wear and tear
2: faster access
is the wear and tear a factor when used externally like this USB
