Will have to keep an eye out for these to see where prices land. As-is it is interesting, but the cost for the capacity will obviously speak pretty loudly.
I have a Plugable USB-C to NVMe USB 3.1gen2 enclosure similar to this one, with an Intel 660p inside, and I found the speed of USB-C ports varies dramatically, at least on Apple devices, so caveat emptor, your computer might not be up to the task, depending on how well the system I/O was designed or not.

That's just the 660p being a QLC drive. Once the SLC cache fills up, it slows down pretty hard.Calabros - Friday, February 21, 2020 - link
I badly need my camera to support this as external storage. Japan, are you listening?alphasquadron - Friday, February 21, 2020 - link
"manufacturers are increasingly holding of on setting prices until the very last minute, so that they can best gauge the market."I knew it, these manufacturers are always trying to gouge us for everything we got.
