Hi all,

Systems: Mac Mini M2 Pro, MBP M3 Pro

Thank you for your time. I am trying to put together an external drive using the Samsung 990 PRO NVMe with an external enclosure rated at 40 Gb/s like the ugreen or acasis.

I do have a few questions:

1. What external enclosure would work best for use with my M2 Pro and M3 Pro, I mostly do research and will be using it as an extended mobile storage solution .
2. Is this overkill for my usage? Keep in mind, the difference in price between this SSD and others that write at half the speed is maybe $50 . I am using my University start up funds for the purchase.

Additionally: I am interested in eventually setting up NAS using this SSD paired with something like a Yottamaster enclosure.

Thanks!
