Those $12 ones are so bottlenecked by the control chip the drive barely has to get out of idle so heat isn't really an issue for them. Like most things with computers it's all about finding the bottleneck. Assuming you have a fast enough drive inside the control chip is the bottleneck on this drive. The USB4 port can transfer data at 40Gb/s which is equal to 5,000 MB/s. The control chip on this enclosure maxes out at 3,151 MB/s. It has pretty good heat dissipation so you probably won't see any thermal throttling on longer reads/writes.
USB4 Port: Up to 40Gbps
Storage Expansion: M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure (1 Slot)
Maximum Supported Capacity: Up to 8TB
Supported M.2 NVMe Sizes: 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230
specs are comparable . portable and matches up with the Mac mini. $119 with $20 code

Oh man. Thanks for chiming in. That's disappointing. Guess we will be going with this one and it's cheaper.
