Ahh, Hacker News never fails to disappoint. Are there any ones you would recommend? A quick Amazon search yields a ton of rando-name products that I don't place much faith in -- the only brand name I could find was Sabrent[0], but that's only 2.5" and I suspect it's running the drive at 5v. My current one (which I believe is WD) has long since been liberated from its chassis, but it does have a separate 12/2 power supply as opposed to running the drive on the 5v USB connector.
On a positive note, I very much suspect the USB-C connector of being miles better than the Micro USB 3.0 interface my current caddy uses. In my experience, a bit of external force can easily encourage the connector out of the port.

P.S. re this, I can sort of understand it, as the caddy came with a drive -- they clearly had the opportunity to optimize away support for filesystems that they weren't pairing the caddy with.
