It's not Thunderbolt - it's just a USB disk enclosure with the cheapest possible 2.5" hard drive - yes, a spinning rust hard drive. The only thing you get over something $100 less is it stacks nicely with the Mini.
I'd say hard pass. What might work better is an external powered enclosure for the M.2's, as that would reduce the power budget your Mini is trying to satisfy.
