2: What is a good enclosure to buy for the SSD drive so that i can connect it to the thunderbolt port and get good speeds? Not that i dont really need the best of the best stuff, but would like to have around 1000 / 1000 when it comes to write and read speed.

Im located in Sweden, so it would be nice if there are available on amazon.se or .de

Is there a reason you want the drive and enclosure separate? Why not just get a combined unit and know they will work together.

Mostly because of the price. The external m.2 drives costs like 50 - 80 bucks more here in Sweden
