whats a good cheap enclosure or other method to clone this to replace my system drive in me Dell G16
The easiest thing is just do an Acronis ot other image backup of existing drive to external USB. Then change out drives and do a restore. This way you also have a backup file

If you're running Windows, I'd throw the original drive in the enclosure, install the new drive, and do a fresh install. Then you can connect the old drive to copy over anything you need from the old installation. Also a good time to install Windows 11 instead of 10 if you haven't upgraded yet.
I've always found cloning to be more trouble than it's worth, not to mention Windows in my experience needs a fresh install every 18 months or so to gain back fast boot times.

I bought this[amazon.com] a couple of months ago. It's $16.14 now on Amazon. It works well, comes with two cables, one USB-A, and a USB-C (both have the USB-C on one end of course). It works well, gets hot (transfers heat away from the drive), as it should. And a new install, then copying stuff will leave your applications on the old drive. Clone it after making a backup to an external HDD (in case anything goes wrong). You can use a free version of Macrium Reflect to do it. Acronis works, too (but it's more complicated). It takes time in the short run, might save days ultimately.
