Maybe. The question is why would you need that much space on the sd card? If your aim is to load/play games from it, then i'd suggest getting an external hdd instead, and you could go up to 2tb (or more).
I have a few 1 & 2 tb t5 Samsung ssd’s so space is out of the question I have the usb-c to usb 2.0 that the drive came with, I’m just wondering if it’s plug and play with usb loader in a modded Wii?
There is a thread about big disks on Wii:

256 GB is no so big. with a good adapter should work without problem.
I am currently using a 340 SSD SATA disk using a old Canvia SATA to USB adapter, and all works fine.

CoolMe was confused and thought you were talking about an SD card and not an SSD. Simple mistake to make.
SSDs work, but it's a waste. You won't benefit from the increased speed, and 250 GB is not really that much space for Wii games. 1 TB external HDDs are dirt cheap.
Sorry i misread your post.
About the usb c to usb, the ssd enclosure has usb c and you'll hook it with usb? It could work, try it if you have it on hand. Though i think an enclosure with standard usb ports would be better.
Also, like mentioned, you won't get any ssd benefits here (bottleneck)..
i know that the loading is the same but the ssd is more stable than a hdd, i remember my family lost some important stuff to a hdd dying, and i don't wanna lose anything in 3-5 years with ssd it last's longer for about 10 years and is more reliable
For my, using the SSD guves me the enhancement of quick startup so the disk is always ready for wiiflow, I config wiiflow for be loaded by priiloader and rotor hard drives often was so slow on start-up what wiiflow abort the loading. Whit SSD never happened again
so I can‘t use my usb c to 2.0 cable that came with it, how do I do that??
There are USB power standards.
A device may draw a maximum of 500 mA (0.5A) from a USB 2.0 port.
If the USB 2.0 port doesn't supply more, it's not the cheapness of the port/system/device/manufacturer, it's just the correct adherence to the standard.
I know it's hard to understand and accept this, but that's the way it is. That's why it's called the standard.
About those Samsung MU-PA250B SSDs:
In the user manual, the manufacturer rated it as 5V 0.8A. This is more than 0.5A that one USB 2.0 port can supply.
You may need to take additional power from the second port. Special Y-shaped cables (in your case it will be single USB-C male connector for device and two USB-A male connectors on other side: one is for USB power and data, another one for USB power only) are designed for this.
Edit: USB-A Female to Dual USB-A Male Y-cable option is also suitable for this
Edit: also from the same user manual:
"Some PCs may not recognize the T5 when connected to the USB 2.0 port if the current exceeds the maximum limit (500 mA) described in the Power Specifications."
After reading this note, I would definitely choose and order a Y-cable for T5.

Not needed on the Wii, and SSDs use less power than HDDs anyway.
I've not seen this problem on a Wii, but have on Wii U. I get that it's anecdotal, but again... As I said, it's worth just trying and seeing if it works.
Not when OP was quoted (you can see the original post in the quote that CoolMe has). It's been sorted already anyway
Edit: if you edit quickly enough after posting, it won't say that a post has been edited.
