Amazon [amazon.com] has
UGREEN 40Gbps M.2 NVMe Enclosure, Compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3/USB4/3.2 on sale for $66.48, shipping free (since it's over the $35 threshold), with faster delivery for Prime members.
Speed rated at 3600MB/s, fanless ("Aluminum Double-Sided Fin Heat Dissipation, No Noise"), and the listing specifies that it uses the AsMedia ASM2464PD chipset.
Alternatively,
Amazon [amazon.com] has a similar
Cable Matters 40Gbps Portable USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 SSD Enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSD on sale for $59.99, also with free shipping.
This one is advertisted as Thunderbolt 4/5 Compatible, with "read speeds up to 3800MB/s, and write speeds up to 3600MB/s", and "Active Fan Cooling for Stability". Chipset isn't in the description (which is usual) but the reviews and specs indicate it's likely the same.
Both are just the enclosure, and YMMV depending on your SSD/cabling/use case/luck; but these are currently pretty competitive against (for example) the
OWC Express 1M2 [macsales.com] for $90. OWC does have a newer and faster 80Gbps
Express 1M2 80G [macsales.com] enclosure, albeit at $220; for those looking to upgrade say an base model Mac mini M4, either of these look like a great fit.
