Lots of feedback on the three controller types. Basically avoid the JMicron JMS583 controller, which is used in the cheapest $20 ones on Amazon SSK & Mokin.
This Unitek uses the Realtek RTL9210 and should be fine.
Revision B sounds like a transistor-level change so they respun it with a B.

The revision is slightly more stable, a little less heat, and a little better dissipation, but the original RTL9210 is still a solid chipset.
For the layman on chipsets:
1st/Tie - Realtek RTL9210B / Asmedia ASM2362
Very Close 2nd - Realtek RTL9210
Distant 3rd - JMicron JMS583
Just avoid #3 and you should be fine. Most users within that thread are hyper enthusiasts, and several are pushing their drives to the limit. Probably not the best demographic for the general public...

The STRIX Arion supports 4 sizes of drives ( 2280/2260/2242/2230 M Key/B+M Key )
I decided to spend the extra money because it looks a lot cooler and also because the "generic" ones all seemed to have a lot of bad reviews.
normal price is $59.99 but it has been onsale at amazon for 2-3 weeks for $53.99

Also any thermal pads you recommend since it doesn't come with it.

I formatted mines in exfat for my external recorder for my DSLR. Havent had the need for a data migration software. Sorry I cant be more help.
I used to use Clonezilla almost exclusively (running off a bootable DRBL installation on USB) but Macrium has replaced that for me. If you want to mass-clone to multiple machines or do stuff in Linux then maybe DRBL/Clonezilla is for you but the interface is not "friendly" and cloning from large to smaller is a real chore.
Just use Macrium. It can create bootable USB keys too and it's much easier while still being free for most uses.
Just today I cloned a sata SSD (MBR) Win10 install to an nvme SSD (UEFI) install and it worked just fine. (had to convert the old drive to GPT first using mbr2gpt obv but Macrium worked great. Imaged the disk in Windows from the system drive as it ran Windows and booted the new laptop via Macrium USB to restore the image to the nvme from a USB SSD portable drive (I wasn't allowed to remove the original drive or the new one, hence the USB shuttle for the drive image).
