I have this very same model from years back. I really won't recommend this as it overheats, if I remember correctly it has a film solution along with it to help it cool, but for some heavy workload in term of read and write....
Like for example, encoding a video, editing, decoding etc, anything that requires sustained heavy read and writes for prolonged periods of time (several hours), you run the risk of overheating it and in my case it will run too hot disconnect, and corrupt the entire m.2 drive. Resulting in absolute rage when all the your files in your drive gets completely nuked and will have to force initialize it for it to be usable again (even that won't work at times)

In short: Get this if you plan on playing games fast, transfer files etc. Don't get this if you plan on using it for stuff that will require heavy use that involves lots of reading writing and deleting on the drive at the same time.

Edit: also for those that think the cooling pad will be enough, it won't. You will have better luck just taking the top off and let it cool that way. It was a very poor design to have this enclosure on a fully enclosed METAL rectangular box of abomination with no ventilation in mind. Also If you buy this make sure you use usb-c to usb-c. You can use a usb-c to usb3.1 or 3.2 but you will experience random disconnects now and then which is not ideal for something that's specifically designed for fast speeds and heavy use with the portability it's supposed to be designed for.
these are also top close instead of slide close.
that makes it much easier to align the thermal pad with the nvme and case. good cooling.
This M.2 enclosure is a great addition to a tech bag. Supporting multiple SSD sizes and both SATA and NVMe is amazing to have in one device. It has come in handy a number of times.

Quote from ryanbrancel :
Is 20 Gbps worth it when transfer rates of a Gen 4 NVMe (7,000 MBps) won't exceed 10 Gbps anyways?
It will matter since there is a difference of x8 between B and b notation.
As such a 20Gb/s interface will only do ~2500MB/s, which will not even max out a pcie3 nvme drive that can do ~3500MB/s let alone a pcie4 drive that can do ~7000MB/s

My math was different than yours.
10 Gbps = 1.25 GBps
7000 MBps = 0.7 GBps
There is no current PCI Gen 4 NVMe that reaches the limits of 10 Gpbs interface. Even if you consider peak simultaneous read and write transactions could be the only scenario where extra bandwidth helps a tad, but otherwise it's not beneficial to get a 20.

PCI Gen 4 NVMe drives do 7000MB/s or 7GB/s.
0.7 GB/s is roughly sata speeds.
So once again, even a gen 3 drive will max out a 20Gb/s interface, let alone a 10Gb/s one.

Quote from AlmostHelios :
USB 3.2 gen 2x2 devices are 50% of the speed of USB4/TB4 for like 25% of the price - and that's not counting the add-in cards most modern computers need for USB4/TB4 and those cost like $100 just to get the functional ports.

If you have gen 2x2 then it's a no brainer cost and performance wise to use it, rather than waiting for USB4/TB4 to be more widespread and economical.
If you have Mac, that didn't work. Mac only support 10gbps or 40gbps.

Hence why I said "If you have gen 2x2". Franky though, I don't care about Apple products and their overpriced shortcomings.
