What is the advantage of using this over an USB to SATA adapter?

You don't have to deal with using a USB to SATA adapter and the drive has a built in enclosure so you can just shove it into a bag or pocket

Is no one mentioning the speed, it can easily go 500+ mbps even with older gen type c ports.

Great if you're working on large files or installing games even.
