I am using this enclosure https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-X820-US...i/382275619889 <https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-X820-USB-3-0-SATA-HDD-SSD-Storage-Expansion-Board-Case-For-Raspberry-Pi/382275619889> plus the storage extension board https://www.ebay.com/itm/X850-V3-0-m....c100005.m1851 <https://www.ebay.com/itm/X850-V3-0-mSATA-SSD-Storage-Expansion-Board-for-Raspberry-Pi-3-Model-B-2B-B/263591056634?_trkparms=aid=555018&algo=PL.SIM&ao=1 &asc=57476&meid=ab43c078b43c415390828a4bd951751a&p id=100005&rk=5&rkt=12&sd=382275619889&itm=26359105 6634&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851> with the original power supply. Just to make sure: the connection pi - ssd is NOT usb3, but usb2. Misleading, but good housing.

Both from a different supplier.
