Are you sure you're using a proper high speed data cable and not just one for charging / basic usb? That would explain the ~480MB/s max..
Just tested mine with with my MBP and a random TB4 cable and had no issues writing to it at 1GB/s.

This Sabrent USB C NVMe enclosure stands out for fast, toolless SSD swaps and a sturdy aluminum body with a larger heatsink than some rivals. With the included short cable or another proper 10 gigabit per second data cable, it can reach around 1 gigabyte per second reads and writes. Firmware updates for the Realtek RTL9210 chipset are important for stability and better drive support. The main catch is cable sensitivity, since basic or charging cables can drop speeds sharply, and the second thermal pad placement is unclear.
The enclosure can reach around 960MB/s read and 400-600MB/s write with a 10Gbps USB signaling setup.
The included short 8-inch USB-C cable can support about 1GB/s transfer speeds in testing.
The toolless design makes NVMe drive swapping easier for data retrieval and backup from malfunctioning laptops.
Updating the RTL9210 chipset firmware can improve stability and add better support for more drives.
Performance can drop to roughly 300-480MB/s when the enclosure is used with other USB-C cables instead of the included one.
High-speed USB-C performance is sensitive to cable quality, and charge-only cables may not deliver data throughput.
Firmware updates may be required because a drive can randomly freeze on Linux Mint until updated.
The enclosure's speed and compatibility can vary by chipset, and older bridge chips may lack features like TRIM.

Basically if gonna have other branded usb c cables (at home, spare, Apple, green, insignia, etc) connected to this enclosure, it would not deliver the expected read and write speed. 300-480 megabytes per seconds.
Maybe...just maybe I'm an outlier here as I got a faulty one but I doubt it as other reviewers had shared the same thing that I went thru

Please share any designated usb c cable appropriately for this enclosure. I do want to rebuy this…not at a TB4 price point from Apple
