Does this look like a good NVMe SSD enclosure with the features I should want?

( in 30 minutes it’s going on a lightning deal for $22. An enclosure and compatible stick SSD has been on my list. )

FIDECO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVMe PCI-E M.2 SSD Case Support UASP for NVMe SSD Size 2230/2242/2260/2280 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W74BN5B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FZ8YD30VTNPV0G45DKAR

Don't know if it is "good" but consider that, if I understood well, it uses an USB bridge and not a thunderbolt connection so you are limited to USB speed.

If you already have an unused NVME hard disk you can consider it, otherwise probably it is better to consider a SATA SSD and another type of connection (just my opinion)

Bite the bullet and get the OWC Envoy Express Thunderbolt M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure. I slapped a WD Black in the thing and it runs at 12000 MB/s. Have Catalina running externally on a 2017 iMAC...needless to say, Fusion drive in this system can't keep up.

Thank you so much! I was hoping to hear from someone with a strong opinion based on experience.

You might want to check out Sabrent's offerings on their website or via Big River's site. The Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is a beast with good passive cooling and the catch is it is not USB-C compatible - needs to be used with a true TB3 port.
