No, this is DRAM-less
It's your money. Whereas this is a dram-less drive and not comparable, there are many drives that are comparable to a Samsung EVO but costing noticeably less

I would suggest this USB-C enclosure. It has a heatsink and it greatly helps with the heat dissipation.

USB-C (USB 3.1 gen 2) is going to max out at 10gbps, which is about 700-800 MB/s. Most USB 3 devices are only 5 gbps, or about 300-400 MB/s.
