Anyone know much about the above?

'All' I want to do, is utilise an spare M.2 drive I've had laying on my desk for weeks for some external storage for my Xbox Series, so it needs to be USB 3.

The drive is a NVMe PCI3 drive, or 'Gen 3' I think?

I can only find Gen 2 enclosures at the moment, I don't really care about Gen 3 bandwidth, I guess USB 3 will be the bottle neck. Anyone know if I can use this drive in a Gen 2 enclosure?
