Just want to add that if using m.2 form, it's recommended to use older m.2 SATA with RPi 4 because it generally requires less power than NVMe. Also the SSD enclosures themselves vary in the amount of power they consume. Personally, I had intermittent power issues with that silver enclosure in the middle and an NVMe, but it worked when switching to an m.2 SATA.

The USB hub hub barely has enough current to power even just the SATA, so you risk data corruption or power-down due to voltage drop during intense I/O. The increased power available in the RPi 5 hub mostly solves this issue, so using m.2 NVMe seems to be ok (so far).

There are a few expensive PCIe HATs available for RPi 5 now. More coming soon.
