What Forrest said. NVMes are dropping faster than 2.5" SSDs. "Much slower" might be a misnomer, unless you spend the $$$ on a Thunderbolt case.
1 TB Sabrent Rocket Q is currently $50, add a $20 USBC case for potential 10 GB/s speedy storage.
And that's great if you just want a small budget drive, but 2TB NVMe is the sweet spot right now, with many name brands at $80-90 --plus case = $100-110 for 2 TB.
FWIW, if you don't want to DIY, several prebuilt options same price -- Samsung T5, Crucial X8, etc.
