Checking alternatives, it now seems very expensive. A Samsung Bar UFD, 256 GB with similar specs (MUF-256BE4/AM), costs $39.93.

Must depend on the age of the USB and/or USB-to-PCIe chain involved. My older PCs (2017 and back) all show speeds in the 400-500 Mbps range; some of the newer ones (esp those with USB 3.1 or 3.2 and/or Thunderbolt support) show 900-1000 Mbps for the same external USB-attached NVMe drives. Thanks for making me clarify: it's always a learning experience.
Hope you get things squared away to your satisfaction. Always find your posts interesting and often educational.

I think it is expensive. For less than US$ 90 you can buy a 1T 2.5" SATA SSD and install on a US$16 USB 3.1 caddy
BX500 1TB
SATA III to USB3.1
or
US$66 + US$30
M.2 2280 512GB PCIe
M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 Gen 2
