USB C to ethernet

#1
Hi,
Are there any adapter available that allow me to connect an SSD (Crucial X9 Pro) to an ethernet network? That is USB-C to Ethernet adapter, but not for connecting PC/Mac to ethernet, but to attach an SSD to the network without buying an expensive NAS box. Just want the SSD be available/visible on the network.
I would like to purchase one as a present for someone who can't afford a NAS box an even if she can would not want to use one. It would be plugged into the back of a router or switch and used as a media to watch movies from it on different TVs around the house.

Thank you kindly

consider grabbing an older Synology router (with USB ports) and an NVMe to USB adapter. Connect the Crucial X9 Pro SSD to the NVMe to USB adapter and plug it into the Synology router. This essentially turns the router into a makeshift NAS, making the SSD accessible on the network. It's a cost-effective way to create a simple media server for movie streaming on various TVs around the house.
