iMac Fusion SSD Enclosure?

I have the 128GB SSD from the Fusion Drive of my late 2012 iMac. After some searching, I’ve found an OWC enclosure that they say works for the SSD in the 2012 MacBook Air. That SSD seems to have the same pin layout as mine. What are the chances the enclosure will work? Are there any other options?

I’ve found enclosures for standard M.2 drives but, of course, Apple’s connection seems just a little different.

Update (03/10/2018)

I received my external SSD enclosure and plugged it into a MacBook via USB along with an external HDD enclosure. To my surprise the computer recognized the drives immediately and mounted them as a Fusion Drive.

It's a small SSD 64 or 128 GB, so keep this in mind.

Which unit are you looking at OWC has a few different ones as Apple has altered the design a few times.

I was looking at the Envoy but actually found out that the Envoy Pro is compatible with the SSD from my late 2012 iMac Pro.
