Argon EON Pi NAS Case (Network Attached Storage) for Raspberry Pi 4

Product Information

The design of the Argon EON makes use of space-grade aluminium allowing ultra-modern angular forms without compromising the rigidity and structural stability of the enclosure. In my tests, local transfers from SSD to SSD peaked at 90Mbps and performance dropped to about half that much when HDD was involved.

The install process worked with no issues but running the Python test script caused the Argon EON to lock up.Will probably back the new one - hell, it'd mean I could get rid of the ever-annoying Helios64 and clownshoes Armbian. Instructions a bit vague, skipping a step: you *really* need to remove the rear IO shield before you try to shove the Raspberry Pi in. All the other files, with the exception of the rtc configuration file have been moved into /etc/argoneon.

In between these two edges, right at the front of the unit is a smoked plastic button, which is programmable to perform a series of actions. We moved on to testing the thermal properties of the Argon EON and, as we have a tall, open case with heatsinks and a 12V case fan, we felt assured that cooling would be good.

I've also added the missing hard drive temperature monitoring feature: now it'll trigger the fan when the CPU or the hottest hard drive in the system reaches the target temperature, whichever comes first.
