Definitely not a deal for everyone, but those who need it I think it is a bargain.

I went down the Enclosure+SSD route, but if I were in the market today I'd definitely get this.

  How does this perform against enclosure and. 1tb nvme gen4 ? Price wise Id think the diy route costs around $150?

    Cheapest thunderbolt 3 enclosure is $130 on Amazon. And that’s not even usb compatible.

    This Sandisk one marketed as TB3/USB support so it's likely to be dual-chip design with Intel TB3 controller (JHL7440, for example) and a USB-NVMe bridge. The new ASM2464PD enclosures are single chip design and generally cheaper (~$100) and is USB4-certified (and on proper TB4 protocol) in comparison.

    ASM2464PD has compatibility issues on some platforms that may either not working at all or fallback to USB 3.2 mode. But generally it worked really well so does its performance.

    Given an enclosure for $100 + 1TB consumer drive @ ~$100-150 you're not really saving a lot compared to a "pro-grade" marketed product from a sound brand. However DIY does give you more saving when the capacity starts to climb, and will allow some exotic combinations and use cases (such as using a 3DWPD enterprise-grade drive and an enclosure with a fan) that existing product won't cover.
