Argon 40, a Hong Kong-based company, specializes in producing enclosures for the Raspberry Pi, with a particular focus on network-attached storage (NAS) solutions. At Embedded World 2024, Joseph from Argon 40 presented several enclosure products, emphasizing the company's versatility and adaptability in providing thermal management, cable organization, and expansion options for Raspberry Pi devices.
The NAS enclosure system for Raspberry Pi accommodates multiple hard drives, including 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives. The enclosure is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 models, providing robust support for storage needs. With the latest Raspberry Pi models, users can achieve performance comparable to other NAS systems on the market. Raspberry Pi 5 promises significant upgrades, further enhancing its viability for NAS applications.
Argon 40's flagship product is the Argon One system, designed for Raspberry Pi 5. This enclosure routes all ports to the back for improved cable management and is crafted from aluminum alloy, offering excellent thermal management. The magnetic cover at the back allows easy access to GPIO ports, providing flexibility for users. The system also has a bottom expansion slot, allowing for NVMe storage expansion with a heat sink, making it a comprehensive solution for Raspberry Pi 5.
The Argon One enclosure is available for purchase through various resellers in Europe and on Amazon in the United States. The base price for the enclosure without NVMe support is $30, while the version with NVMe expansion capability costs $49. This price point makes the product accessible and attractive to Raspberry Pi enthusiasts seeking a sleek, well-designed enclosure with additional features.
Argon 40 offers additional enclosures, including an entry-level case designed for Raspberry Pi. This affordable option, priced at $5, provides basic functionality and cooling for the Raspberry Pi without requiring a significant investment. It's an excellent choice for those who need a simple, cost-effective enclosure.
The company also showcased a high-performance cooler designed for overclocking Raspberry Pi devices. This cooler can support overclocking a Raspberry Pi to 3.2 GHz, demonstrating its potential for boosting the performance of the small board computer. Although Argon 40 does not offer a specific case for this cooler, users can 3D print their own cases, allowing for customized solutions based on personal preferences and requirements.
At Embedded World 2024, Argon 40 received feedback from attendees, providing valuable insights into their products' performance and potential improvements. The company appreciated both the positive comments and constructive suggestions, using this feedback to enhance their product offerings. The event proved to be a beneficial platform for engaging with the community and learning from their experiences and ideas.
Overall, Argon 40's presence at Embedded World 2024 highlighted the company's commitment to providing high-quality enclosures and cooling solutions for Raspberry Pi devices. The wide range of products, from basic enclosures to advanced NAS systems, demonstrates the company's versatility and focus on customer needs, ensuring they remain a key player in the Raspberry Pi accessory market.
