[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1949659, member: 190607"] If I was looking for really good speed, not just an SSD to off-load things to or to backup to, and if I had an Apple Silicon Mac, I think that I'd be better off rolling my own. I'd consider this enclosure: FIDECO 40Gbps M.2 NVMe Enclosure, USB4 NVMe SSD Enclosure with Cooling Fan, Support UASP and Trim, Compatible with USB4/3.2/3.1/3.0, Full Aluminum Alloy Body, Sandwich Style Design (Does TRIM and has a fan!!) $67 [URL code="true"]https://www.amazon.com/FIDECO-Enclosure-Compatible-Aluminum-Sandwich/dp/B0DTF6KNRS/ref=sr_1_58[/URL] I'd match it with a fast Samsung 990 Evo NVME SSD $78 [URL code="true"]https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Technology-Intelligent-Turbowrite-MZ-V9S2T0B/dp/B0DHLFWBQ1/ref=sr_1_3[/URL] The resulting external SSD would be almost as wildly fast as the mini's internal SSD. It would have a fan (necessary to prevent thermal throttling for this sort of performance) and it would support TRIM. [/QUOTE]
