External SSD on Mac M1

I didn't think of doing that, here is a screenshot of the partition

Also when I try to download a certain program it seams to see the external drive as read only and I can't change the preference as there is no lock in the get info window.

I followed the process using show all devices now it's giving me this error message

I tested it and I found that its the SSD that's the issue, can't find any cracks or damage on the physical external drive, the drive mounts, the moment I erase the drive it seems to resist I'm so baffled as to why this is happening ? its as if my mac reads the drive and at the same time my ability to delete, erase or install and download onto it is completely crippled.

The main goal is to erase it, I find that my external ssd tends to act up with ventura, erasing the drive tends to fix the problem, the issue has become more complicated when I erase the drive it goes through with the process and than the files magically reappear and the drive doesn't erase completely, than when I try to download a program it states that its not a writable drive and that its read only, I erased the drive it worked the first time, second time I deleted the drive entirely and than reformatted it, I don't really understand whats going on there are so many solutions that I have tried I even reinstalled ventura with the update it seems more stable thing is I can't pin point why the drive itself is acting up, my mac clearly reads the drive, I cant help but think that it could only be a write error.

So I erased my Macs internal drive reinstalled Monterey, just to find out whatever happened with Ventura corrupted my external drive and some of my programs, thanks for the help, think I am going to hold off on updating to Ventura for a while.
