Question High-quality USB4 NVME Enclosure that's as fast as possible and won't overheat.

[vnce]

I have been searching for the past few days for an NVME enclosure that will deliver true USB4 speeds, that I can easily swap NVME's out of. I saw the ZikeDrive, Satechi, and OWC Express 1M2. I don't have a lot of confidence or trust in deciding between any of these. There might be newer options, but that isn't that important. I need something reliable but a lot of the reviews in these kinds of drives can be very misleading. The negative reviews specifically involve a lot of user errors. I was hoping someone more informed could assist in selecting an enclosure I could trust.

This protocol is very new, i think you have a bit more to wait until a big player will involve in lunching something you described.

What would a big player look like? I have seen the same brands in the lower-end enclosure market. For enclosures such as USB3.1-3.2.

Make your own. Seriously, get a Startech USB to nvme cable and head over to thing verse to print an enclosure for it.
