  I have a SAMSUNG 990 PRO w/Heatsink SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 . (2280 form factor).

  The height of the SSD is 8mm (measured). Is there are model of external USB C enclosure that will fit this ?

  @rob.cairns You may be able to fit that drive into the enclosure, but won't be able to close it.

  For single sided SSDs with an integrated or otherwise permanantly installed heatsink, I just use a standard enclosure without the heatsink cover. With doublesided SSDs that have a permanantly attached heatsink on both sides, I have to use a dock. I have three SSDs permanantly installed in swapable trays so I had to modify a dock to get them to fit.
