• Usb over Ethernet is a thing adapter will need to go on both ends, and it would plug into the usb slot on your computer. Since this drive is bus powered though I’m not sure it will power it.

• I'd recommend you create a little homebrew NAS with a wired router inside the enclosure with the external drive plugged into its USB port. Heat might become an issue inside the enclosure, so plan and configure accordingly.

• I cannot confirm until the shipped SSD arrives. Four days overdue now.
