I'm looking to expand my storage. Can you sifu's recommend reliable SSD enclosures and drives to be used with my M4 Mac Mini?

I've been using the Acasis 40Gbps case since 2021 but only Thunderbolt 3. No probs so far. RM169.

Also plenty of much cheaper 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2. Recently I got the Orico to try with ip16pm. RM30.

I decided I didn't need the blazingly fast speeds and went with a portable SSD (Lexar SL600) instead. It's supposed to give me up to R/W speeds of up to 2000MB/s but when I tested it today through Blackmagic Disk, I'm only getting about 900+.

How to maximize and increase the speed?

900+ using the front ports?

Not the front. Am using one of the 3 available TB4 ports at the back of the M4 Mac Mini. The back ports should give me better speed? Let me switch and try it with the front ports instead.

Yah, front only 10Gbps and back should be 20Gbps for USBC. Dunno why you're only getting 900MBps.
