Yes this is shuckable. Inside is a 2242 sized NVMe drive. The drive inside is the SK Hynix BC711 which has an integrated DRAM cache on the package. The enclosure can be reused for other 2242 sized drives (or 2230 with an adapter) for if you want a reliable USB-C to NVMe adapter. The bridge chip is the ASM2362 for those wondering. The shucked drive can also fit into a slot for a larger form factor if you have the standoff or adapter for it.
The drive itself is faster than the spec of the X31 Beetle. The enclosure is bottlenecked by the USB speed, not the drive itself. My shucked BC711 from this enclosure blows the WD SN520 Blue that came with my laptop out of the water.
And if you want to expand the internal storage of your PS5, you'll want a newer and faster drive since the PS5 uses NVMe Gen 4 (this is a Gen 3 drive).
