You may try to restart Xbox Console again if issue still persist. Will the steps help in resolving the error code, please try to format the SSD Drive and see if that would help you store games. In any case, formatting the drive as NTFS is required, please check the steps below for reference:

2. Open File Explorer.
   
3. Right-click your USB drive or external storage device.
   
4. From the pop-up menu, select Format.
   
5. In the File system dropdown menu, select NTFS.
   
6. Select Start to begin formatting.

Sounds like you are needing to connect the Flash Drive to a computer and format it to NTFS. It will erase any data on the drive but should allow you to use the drive on your Xbox

It most definitely is a 3.0 Drive, the one I have got at the moment is an Xbox One certified Game Drive one. It has a super speed 3.0 cable, just like the others
