This is for M.2 drives, but my drives are U.2. There are a couple more
enclosures for four M.2 drives on the market, plus there are several
PCIe cards that can hold up to four M.2 drives. M.2 drives are more
popular than U.2 drives because they can easily fit in a laptop.

M.2 drives are physically smaller than U.2 drives, and they run a lot
hotter. The biggest ones (8TB) usually come with big heat sinks, which
makes it difficult to get them into many enclosures.
