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

Product Information

Hidden under the plastic is an I2C OLED screen which, when setup, displays pertinent data such as CPU use, IP address, temperatures and storage levels. When setup in the Argon-EON, that single board computer has 4 SSD’s attached, and can boot from an 5th device. We left the cooling at the default values and left the Argon EON to settle before running a stressberry test. I used to be a big fan of Synology, until I learned what kind of clothes the emperor was (not) wearing.

As reboots of all machines involved didn’t help much (it found the server, and allowed for SSH but didn’t fix the web UI issue. I run Home Assistant and a few other apps in containers on the EON via Docker and Portainer within OMV. Things are slightly different now, and to use Plex with your Argon Eon, you have to install docker from the Extra options in the OVM menu.Now I'm not sure I should even go ahead with my plan to replace the Helios64 with the Eon - what's going to happen when summer hits and the office reaches 30°C?

In this case the max HDD temp is 40 (which in my case is the NVME device), so the fanspeed is set to 25. Remotely connecting via SSH, we installed the Argon EON helper script which provides an on / off switch, fan control, support for an IR receiver (not tested) and a real time clock. As I waved goodbye to my Synology Diskstation (on loan for review), I moved my stuff back to a Raspberry Pi-based NAS.What we can say is that it works exceptionally well with the Argon EON and there are lots of tutorials to help set up your first NAS. Products shown, tagged or featured on YouTube by creators are sold by merchants and are subject to merchant's terms and conditions. This time around the case is more complicated as the board is deep inside the case with heat-generating drives mounted on top of the board. But with space for up to four SSDs, USB booting, excellent cooling and support for the Raspberry Pi 4 we have an excellent, if expensive case.

At this stage make sure you have a backup of your drives – just in case things go sideways keep the SD card intact until you are sure that everything is working fine. Switching to a Pi-based system means I can use mainline Ubuntu instead of clownshoes Armbian - and that's worth its weight in gold.You’ll save money and get a regular supply of in-depth reviews, features, guides and other Raspberry Pi enthusiast goodness delivered directly to your door every month.
