Fastest for only 280$, but it's "professional"

660p NVMe 1TB costs 120 Eur.
They ask 250 eur for 1 TB drive with NVMe to USB 3.1 enclosure.
so this means, that 130 eur is for NVMe-USB3.1 enclosure alone.

Usual SATA to USB 3.0 enclosures cost around 10 Eur.

Can NVMe-USB really be that much pricier?
