Not shitting on you, but just pointing out you can get similar performance for half the price(albeit without a ruggedized drive).
I just ordered this one:

500GB for $129.
Yours is the better choice if you want a truly portable option. Mine will be staying on my desk.

I found this one is reasonably small enough.
So you're saying you connected a USB C SSD (such as this one) to the Apple TB3-2 adapter to your Mac with a TB 2 cable and it didn't work at all?
I have a 2015 5K iMac that I run from a USB 3.0 2.5" SSD that I want to upgrade to a NVMe PCIe SSD in a USB C 3.1 enclosure. I asked Apple support chat yesterday if using the Apple TB3-2 would allow a portable USB C 3.1 drive to run at full speed over TB2 and they said yes…

Only if it has USB C 3.1 gen 2 I think.
Western Digital has a similar model https://www.amazon.ca/WDBKVX5120PSL-WESN-512GB-Passport-Portable-Storage/dp/B07C5BG857/
There may be others.
After a bit of research I did this one:
