I tried to flash a Linux ISO onto that drive with balenaEtcher which I have done with countless USB drives, and for some reason I get an error when trying to boot into the drive. Do I need to use the USB Live boot version? Thanks

Glad you asked.
Your biggest concern is if you overwrite the windows bootloader with the Grub2. What will happen then is that windows won’t boot without the external Linux Drive.
If you’re wanting the most braindead way to avoid that, go ahead and remove your Windows SSD before installing Ubuntu. There are better ways if you’re more competent in Linux (unlike me)
