M1 (MacBook Air) USB 3.1 Gen 2 M.2 NVMe Enclosure

[steliosaa]

Basically I have a very similar question to this thread, but the answer is not there.

Any enclosure for M.2 SSD for good price for the Mac Mini M1?

I have the WD Blue SN550 NVMe PCIe M.2 intern SSD 1 TB, and need to connect it to my Mac Mini (M1). What are the cheapest enclosures that i can use to make this work good with the Mac Mini (m1)? Ill accept a speeds at 1000 / 1000 (read and writes) with the enclosure, dont need any faster...

forums.macrumors.com

I also read many other threads but they are either old or no clear answer can be found.
There are problems with the USB of the M1 reaching 5Gbps instead of 10Gbps on USB 3.1 Gen 2

I have a Crucial P1 1TB SSD M.2 PCIe 2280
And an M1 MacBook Air 13' base model

I want to get an enclosure for the Crucial P1 SSD M.2 that will provide 1000MBps read speed.
So I guess the USB 3.1 Gen 2 will be more than enough (provided it reaches 10Gbps).
I don't want to get a thunderbolt 3 or usb 4 as I am on a budget. (I know going that way solves the problem but it is expensive)
I am looking for a cheap (Amazon.de) enclosure that will provide this kind of read speeds (10Gbps and not 5Gbps)

Is there a specific enclosure chipset that is compatible? Or one where it is known to achieve the speed I want?
Sorry for "double posting", but I need a clear answer of what I am supposed to look for. "USB 3.1 Gen 2 M.2 enclosure" is not enough good answer for me as we have seen there are many of them incompatible with the M1 computers.
Thank you in advance!

(I am attaching the speeds of Crucial P1 when attached directly to my old intel i5 macbook pro 13' early-2015 when used with an adaptor...trying to get the same speeds to the M1 but through an enclosure)

Thank you very much!

-Found this review for the Sabrent:

-And this one for the Yottamaster:

So apparently Yottamaster may have a problem, will go with the Sabrent instead.

Anyone else has any other recommendations?

Thank you for asking people. Had _exactly_ the same question

So on the first post I put the screenshot of how fast the Crucial P1 reads and writes when installed directly on the 2015 MacBook Pro.

I ended up buying this one which had a RealTech chip. And now I am getting these speeds with the USB-C cable.
