Yes, another pluggable product: Plugable USB C to M.2 NVMe Tool-free Enclosure USB C and Thunderbolt 3 Compatible up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speeds (10Gbps). Adapter Includes USB-C and USB 3.0 Cables (Supports M.2 NVMe SSDs 2280 2260 2242) ~$50 I ordered this in June of 2019 and through an Inland (Microcenter) 1TB Phison 12 (~$100)
Be careful, it's not compatible with M.2 SATA drives which is what this person was asking about.
But those microcenter NVMe drives really are a great bargain. $37/60/100 for 256/512/1TB. Though confusingly they have 2 1TB drives that are basically the same price and one is way faster (x2 vs x4).
I'd recommend purchase of this type of item from Amazon instead of AliExpress, due to warranty support issues. A "Jeyi" brand unit was purchased from AliExpress & shipped direct from China, & there was no English language support available after it quit working. Amazon offers these (and other) brands of NVMe enclosures: TDBT, Ineo, Inateck. All in the $30 to $38 price range.
I haven't used this specific drive, but my experiences with previous Orico enclosures have been excellent. Note that there's versions for SATA and NVMe, make sure to pick the right one. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32998009158.html?tra...
once time my Ssd locked and my important data like <a href="https://www.downloadeaadhar.online/">aadha... card</a> and bank detail such all in this. so please don't do the same as me.
How does this compare to the Samsung X5 TB3 drives?
I have a 1TB USB3.1 T5 and its fast enough for my needs but was curious how much faster the NVME based X5 was when I got it.
These new drives are even cheaper, I wonder if the X5 will take a price cut and if there was any compromises being one of the first to market with an NVME TB3 portable compared to these.
I know there will be many difficulties and challenges but I am determined to do it. If it fails then it will also be a lesson for me. <a href="https://drivingdirectionss.com">driving directions</a>

You are right, this is for nvme m.2 drives only. Thanks for pointing it out.regsEx - Tuesday, November 12, 2019 - link
tones of them on aliUgreen of high quality, for example. There are both SATA and NVMe on the page.

Rest of them. Just make sure you are getting SATA one. NVMe has different M.2 keys.

The Plugable drive is "only" $400 right now, which gives a pretty good price per GB.Valantar - Wednesday, November 13, 2019 - link
Looks like some good DIY TB3 cases are finally showing up. Not cheap, but decent at least:https://m.aliexpress.com/storesearch/list/.html?so...

When will we finally see Titan Ridge based enclosures (Other than LaCie's offering)?Seems like a no brainer. Single TB3 controller than can fall back to USB3.
