SABRENT USB 3.2 10Gbps Type C Tool Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs (EC-SNVE)
Its kind of pricey at $30 and only comes with a USB C to USB C cable. But it works well. I switched to Sabrent after some issues with Plugable's first gen NVME enclosure (which they did fix later with a newer version).
Orrico has a sale going on. I trust the brand but have never used thier NVME enclosures, only their SATA ones.

Solidigm didn't have a problem replacing my old 660p m.2 drive last year (4 year old SSD).
Yes. All warranty are honored by Solidigm as SK assumed all assets and liabilities of the Intel subsidary. I also learned SK chose to keep the Intel branding for this model (rather than rebranding) although the new units rolling out of assembly lines are manufactured by Solidigm.

About the same on balance. The 670p with DRAM will give better consistent performance, but the P41 Plus will have faster peak speeds.
Inside an enclosure where the bandwidth is limited by the connection anyway, the 670p performs better. Although it does have the risk of data loss.
TBW is as much about limiting warranty exposure as the quality of the product. It's not like the chips magically go bad at the same time once you hit the number. And you can find different brands selling the same chips with different warranty specs.
Besides, 740TB is a lot. I've got a 12 year old Samsung 830 SSD that's been a daily driver for about 9 years. It's just now hitting 10% worn out sectors. It's over-provisioned about 9% so things are just starting to go south. MTBF rating is something stupid like 150 years. It still has life in it, but these days it just stores data for me. Very little read/write activity because I have bigger and faster available.
Tried to format it to use as storage drive in USB enclosure and cord got knocked off which bricked it. Requested RMA and was sent label but had to pay for postage. Drive worked fine before that.

Storage is so cheap its essentially like disposal cameras these days, you are expected to keep moving onto new drives every 3-5 years unless you wanna lose everything

The A60 is probably more efficient and a better option for laptops, maybe. The HP EX950 has similar hardware to the current A80...

Meh. Full performance tanks horribly.
