Want to get external SSD

Hello guys new to this sub! I have been doing my research on backing up stuff on ssd to keep it safe. I take a lot of photos on vacations. So I was thinking to get external SSD/HDD. What i have found is that ( from my understanding) best way to go is to purchase ssd and enclosure seperately. Was thinking to get ASUS ARION M2.NVMe and WD 2TB SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe M.2 2280 Is this a good combination? Can I just put this SSD into Asus's enclosure and use it on a MacBook? Any advice would be appreciated!
