SSD enclosure for 2017 MBP

I upgraded the ssd in my 2017 MBP from 256 to 512. Does anyone know of an ssd enclosure that will fit these ssds so I can copy over data? Attached is a pic of the ssd.

External enclosure for Mac mini (Late 2014) SSD I need an external enclosure for Mac mini (Late 2014) (Macmini7,1) SSD I'm removing, and I'm not sure which type of drive enclosure to get. JAMF lists the SSD in the Mini as the Apple 256GB SSD SM0256G. From what I can tell the notches on the drive don't match any enclosures I have found so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) SSD upgrade I want to upgrade the SSD in my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) The easy solution would be to buy an OWC 2TB OWC AURA PRO X2 https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/S3DAPT4MB20/ Yet, to install the removed memory, and put it in an enclosure will cost an additional $100. There are alternatives. Would anyone have recommendations regarding an "M 2 2280 Nvme Ssd" blade that will seamlessly work with my MacBook, or alternatively (since the OWC blade works) a less expensive enclosure for the orphaned 1TB blade I will remove.

Would connecting an SSD to my Mac mini through Thunderbolt 4 and leaving it connected all the time cause any damage? I've heard rumors that certain Thunderbolt 4 SSD enclosures might cause damage to the Mac mini's motherboard, but I'm not sure if it's true. I'm planning to purchase an Acasis 40Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure. Do you think this enclosure is stable and safe to use? Additionally, I'm considering installing macOS on my external SSD. Is it recommended to do so? Will I have a similarly stable experience compared to using the internal drive? Apologies for asking so many questions. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
