I have the Thunderbolt/USB4 version, the Envoy Pro FX, it feels like a solid block of metal.
Really fast. Warms up a bit if you push it.

They sell an accessory item for their Thunderbolt docks that secures the cable to the dock via a threaded screw. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/CLINGON1PK/ If you feel like taking a drill to the case/heat sink of your $500 external SSD, knock yourself out...

I have their BYOD Envoy Express TB3 drive, actually three of them. Just add a NVMe M.2 drive, so in theory you could go up to 8TB.
