Found a Ugreen enclosure on Amazon for $15. It supports m.2 ssd's with speeds up to 10Gbps.
Having trouble finding the memory that lines up with this speed. Most are much slower or much faster, and more expensive. Only looking for 256GB to 500GB sizes.
I'm not THAT interested in speed, so I suppose 3-4Gbps is fine, but......
It would be great to be able to find something that's the same speed as the enclosure.

Isn’t that device 10Gbps, not 10,000Gbps? I use regular Crucial X9 Pro SSDs, which are 1050MB/s (~8.4Gbps). I think that’s a pretty standard speed. But I don’t know much about these things.

Yes, you are correct. I got my numbers mixed up. Sorry and thank you.

That's a USB3.1 gen2 enclosure.
It will give you reads in the 925MBps range.

Doesn't really matter what nvme blade you put into it, they'll be limited by the speed of the enclosure itself.

So... don't spend too much on "the fastest" ... not worth it.
