The FASTEST NVMe USB4 40Gb/s External SSD Storage For Any Apple Silicon M4 Mac But It Has A PROBLEM

So this Zike Z666 NVMe to USB4 40Gb/s enclosure is the fastest enclosure I have tested to date with my Apple Silicon Mac computers and it works with all M1 M2 M3 and M4. When paired up with a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe Gen 4 SSD, it creates a combination that is unbeatable for speed, with read and write of over 3500MB/s. However, there is a huge problem, heat. Because the Zike Z666 enclosure uses passive cooling, no fan, it simply cant keep a hot Gen 4 NVMe SSD cool enough without it going into thermal throttling.
