Specific example here is the Acasis enclosure
ACASIS 40Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSFFM...b_ap_
which is already replacing the previous cases I've been using. Big difference here is the added fan that can be controlled with a little button next to the cable port. I'm running a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro while I'm writing this, and it feels warm, but not the usual hot and super hot. It's active cooling, and it works!
And I just ran a Blackmagic speed test: write speeds always hitting about 2,800 MB/s, and read speeds are always close to 2,900 MB/s.
These cases also go up to 8TB, the next one I will fill with the biggest WD 850X, one after another replacing all my external NVMe cases with those that have built in fans.
One often overlooked practical plus that the Acasis cases have: The cable connection is flush with the case, so even the really chunky Thunderbolt cables fit with no issues whatsoever.
This one or the Acasis one?
This doesn't get free shipping since the sale puts the item cost below the $99 needed for free shipping.
Total cost with shipping was $110.30. There was a $14.13 cash back offer from "H" that sounds by bunny. Plus 5% back with PayPal through Chase Freedom.
So costs after cash back offers is about $90.66.

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.

it can get hot, but i've noticed that if you let it sit on the base of an imac/studio-display/mac-mini, it basically acts as a giant heat sink and becomes completely cool to the touch. I don't think the heat is an issue either way, though.
I'm really digging the styling of this OWC, tho...
OWC weighs 253g
acasis is 97g
This one or the Acasis one?
just got this one yesterday, installed my 990pro, with a t4 cable and mac studio, consistent 3,000+ MB/s speeds.

Also CB from some site for an extra 10%
