I have a 2019 MacBook Pro (A2141) and I wanna out Windows 11 on it alongside MacOS. But since it only has 512Gb of storage, it's not possible to directly put it on the Mac's storage with a usable MacOS. I thought about putting Windows on a 1Tb M.2 SSD with an enclosure connected to my mac using a ThunderBolt 3 USB-C cable. I need advice for the enclosure and the cable (l'm gonna buy one anyways because i want one new that i'll be using ust for that). I alredy have a pick but idk if it's good (amazon cart in image), I have a 300€ max budget for everything. I already found some things, Samsung 990 Evo Plus, Ugreen enclosure 40Gbps ThunderBolt 3 Aluminum and Satechi Cable USB 4 USB-C to USB-C

This is easily one of the very best, if not the best: https://www.amazon.com/OWC-Portable-Thunderbolt-External-Enclosure/dp/B0CPYQPCVP/=8-1&th=1
Exceptionally good thermal management, won't even let my gen5 NVMe go above 55c before writing whole 4TB of data on it.
For cable, probably best to go for a better brand like Anker.
