You're paying a premium for
-PCIE5 NVME drives that occupy a niche that the overwhelming majority of people will not have a use for
-A PCIe5 external dock
Keep in mind, you also need the ability to be able to read at these speeds over the USB-C interface, which isn't common at all in computers right now. I only see speeds up to 40gbps over USB-C in even brand-spanking-new motherboards (X870 chipset). I don't even know how you'd call the manufacturer on these speeds unless you had a PCIe card that gave you more USB-C ports specifically at those speeds.
Edit: There's also a substantial amount of 1-star reviews claiming it has bad thermal design and kills NVME drives. Stay far away from this. Generally avoid manufacturers that make claims that are impossible to test with the current technology.
Edit2: Guys...look at the promotional material. Broken English everywhere. You'd really give $175 clams for this trash? You might as well buy a 10TB microsd card on eBay and give a shocked face when it doesn't have the advertised storage capacity. This is a scam.

X870 is not "brand spanking new" it's been out for well over a year now, and you answered your own question about using a PCIe card that gives 80Gbps speeds....also Thunderbolt 5 is 120Gbps.
I have several external ssds, some DIY ones and I never push them anywhere near their potential speeds, 500-900mbps.
So it depends first of all, what speed is your computer capable of? How much storage are you regularly transferring? I get it, I've done video archival work and each video can be 10gb at a time. Imagine transferring 90 of those.... ssd can get pretty stinking hot eek. But something with a thermal pad and heatsink is gonna go a long way in that situation.
Honestly. Try to find something that's thunderbolt 4 capable, or 40gbps. And if you think about it, let's say your SSD is only pci express gen 3 and you install it in this enclosure, your wasting your money because the ssd can't reach those kinda speeds anyways. PCI express gen 4 ssd can get upto 64gbps but that depends on the design and quality of that ssd. Personally I don't like pushing ssds to their limits because of heat generated, I prefer to put ssds in a setup that throttles them a little bit because you don't have to worry about thermal throttling as much. Just an idea.
I don't think these guys have an alternative 80gbps enclosure solution for you. They'll just keep trying to convince you that you don't need this LOL
