Personally I prefer getting one with a hybrid USB + PCIe chipset because it is rather inconvenient if you find yourself in a situation where you can't connect to your external drive at all from an unsupported device. Unless you are truly only buying it to extend storage on a thunderbolt capable device.
Instead, I bought an Acasis TBU405Air 40Gbps enclosure for $51 from their website with a BF discount. It doesn't cool quite as well as the OWC but it's good enough for me.

Be careful, Acasis has several enclosures that are similar in appearance with slightly different features. I bought the cheaper enclosure that only supports Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB 4.0 for my M4 mac mini. This version is not compatible with earlier USB types but there are options that do.
This one or the Acasis one?

Similar situation. Have a M4 mac mini on order and was looking for a 40 Gbps enclosure to house a 4TB 990 Pro.
I ordered this "Air" variation via the Acasis store on WalMart.com for around $50 a few days ago.
Would have preferred an enclosure with USB 3.1 downward compatibility, but I have a half dozen of the smaller 10Gbps portables... and this one will probably stay attached to the Mac Mini full time.
Have you performed any data copy speed tests? It appears to have the common Intel JHL7440 TB3 controller, so I assume it can reach ~2,800 to 3,000Mbps sequential read/writes depending on the NVMe drive.

The Acasis store listing for the TBU405Air on WalMart.com shows it comes with a "1*0.5M Thunderbolt 3 Data Cable"
