The UASP caddy it's not that easy to put to work. Just to share my experience, I did bought a UASP caddy to plug into my Raspberry Pi 4 and unfortunately the microchip in the caddy was not recognizable by the Linux kernel running in the Raspbian system. I would take a more careful choice when purchase a caddy again, to guarantee the chip is supported by the kernel.

I found a reliable way to test it was to try to load a 1.5gb database into mariadb.
The caddy I am using is this one, if it helps you at all:

Discontinued but I think any replacement Inateck should be a good choice.
I think even the newer Sabrents should be fine but I don't know.
This Inateck caddy is excellent; it's the one I have been recommending. Though I'd like to test some M.2 stick adapters.
(I'd originally begun to devise a Pi 4 SSD appliance for one of my customers to sell with their database product, but the chip shortage has put paid to that.)
