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.

The enclosures that support earlier usb versions include an additional chipset, Realtek RTL9210B, from the website.
Since I'm only using a mac mini m4 I went with the cheaper option but I think many would want the additional usb support.

Both are great options. I chose Acasis because it's fast enough and cool enough while also a lot cheaper. Though, the OWC would have been my second choice.
