I would also note that I am suspicious of the interlocking inset with the cooling blades. The blades seem like an unnecessary obstruction to airflow. The Mini and Studio vent from the bottom are designed to sit on a flat surface, unobstructed. Recessing this exhaust behind these blades adds obstruction. The fact that they look like cooling blades is very misleading as they will have the opposite effect, capturing heat and sending it up.?
That said, heat is not a big problem with these Macs and this probably makes no real world difference. Still it makes me suspicious of the overall design quality.

Looks like a knock off of this product from OWC, a brand with a strong reputation for quality. They've made versions of this for many years and they recently introduced a new Thunderbolt 4 version which I¡¯ve purchased but not yet installed and tested. It also serves as a drive enclosure.

I noticed that on Amazon there are several copies of the RayCue such as:
It¡¯s easily possible that they are all made by the same factory in China.
However, the RayCue is unique, as far as I can see, in offering a model that has 40Gbps NVME SSD.
