yes it can be done but it also will be relatively slow.
ipads including the pro 256GB which i have are limited in functionality. so compared to a full computer they are more awkward to use
the best way to transfer lage amounts of data to the SSD is to move the folder to the ipad and then after thats finished to the SSD. it is faster that way. i just did 289 71MB pics in approx 4 minutes to the ipad and then another 4 minutes to the SSD from the ipad. trying to do a passthrough does not work well at all and can fail.
keeping it on the ipad for the time to work on images is faster too but it is somewhat plodding as the workflow just ain't the same as on a computer and again limited.
Hyperdrive makes some nifty products that will help things work relatively well connectivity wise
too many things going on at once can make an ipad finnicky. it is NOT a laptop
I am not so sure if is so good to under power SanDisk SSD just running with iPad battery ( with so many things connected at once ) I am not so technical to know exactly if all this items receive enough power at the same time during copy process. I never like run my SSD with important photos relaying only on laptop battery
If I am moving data from a card via reader to the internal memory of of the the iPad Pro that is a single point to point transfer. If I then wish to move the data from the the internal memory point to point to an ssd again it is a single operation. You do not want to try going from memory card reader through the iPad into an ssd at once aka multi point transfer as it has limited processing and multifunctional capabilities. It can fail. I have tried it. A friend has the latest iPad Pro and I will try this in a few days
Now, as to an honest laptop, I have done the direct 291 71MB raw images multi point to my external ssd and in the computers balanced power mode took 20 minutes started at at 100% battery and dropped to 90%.
This all comes down to needs at the time as if one is on a scheduled situation.
Things can be done just not without thought and somewhat short on style and grace
