It does not. I/O error that aborted rsync within the first 10 minutes.

So it appears that external SSD on Linux is currently unusable. :(

After at least some Sandisk Extreme Pro SSDs reportedly having all kinds 
of trouble – I have been lucky so far – it appears that Transcend SSD is 
not really a better choice. But let's see what comes out of a report to 
USB people.
