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

Product Information

Looks like it's come Royal Mail Tracked 48, too, from an address in the UK - which with a bit of luck means no VAT to pay. is powered by a VLI VL917 chip, and, while we can’t find a datasheet for this chip, we can make a firm assumption that this is a USB 3. More testing to do, however the table at the end indicates which of the items is fording the fan to be on, i. I decided to set a custom fan profile which wouldn’t spin over 50% until the temperature is hitting 70℃ in an attempt to keep the Argon Eon case as quiet as possible in normal operation. You can use the backup plugin (I don't use it and don't know how it works but a lot people here does) and make ddfull backup of the OS.

The problem's compounded by the fact the fan is triggered by CPU temperature alone - meaning that, thanks to the big ol' chunk of metal it attaches for passive cooling, the fan's unlikely to spin up even when the drives are under heavy load. You can build a NAS that competes with much more expensive options, and it looks like something from a sci-fi movie. Whilst Argon have rated the enclosure at 10TB per slot, 18TB drives have been used and tested by the Argon team - however we assume the more reserved 10TB per slot limit is to allow headroom to account for the vast range of different disks with different power consumption ratings in existence.They shifted while I was installing 'em, but it should still offer improved contact over the bare metal. I know in the whole NAS networking industry 40TB isn’t much, but as far as Raspberry Pi storage is concerned that’s more than enough to keep your data safe. It's clearly not designed for that, though: the fan sits on extruded mounts which slot into the plastic only one way round; flipping the fan means it sits on top of rather than over those mounts, increasing the overall height. The ease at which we can add drives, the sheer lack of wires and the OLED display add a level of refinement to our DIY NAS build.

Hey hey, i dont know a lot about network and the responding tech, and even less about network tech using a raspberry pi… i just wanted to ask; is it possible to use the argon eon just for a normal server? What’s fantastic about the case is the power button that doubles as an OLED display that you can customise yourself. I found a very handy tool: DiskInternals Linux reader to save my stuff from EXT4/EXT3 formatted drives on Windows without actually powering the boards on.Sure the project load time was a bit longer, and skipping the video to the next timeline stamp takes one second longer than usual, but this NAS is more than usable. 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. You can use the other USB3 port to plug another external (preferably with independent power-supply) HDD Box and use it to backup the internal ones.

All the other files, with the exception of the rtc configuration file have been moved into /etc/argoneon. If the fan speed is set to above 1 and the fan has *not* been triggered, it seems to work fine; if it *has* been triggered the bottom few lines are entirely missing. As I waved goodbye to my Synology Diskstation (on loan for review), I moved my stuff back to a Raspberry Pi-based NAS.This with the (optional) installation of Portainter will allow you to drop the Plex container and set it up.

It’s unreasonably loud and having it on all the time will quickly turn your office peace into annoyance.Looks like the screen corrupts when the fan's set below "100" and breaks entirely at the slowest speeds. I'm generally quite pleased, but I do disagree with the author of the review about the ease of use of OpenMediaVault. This has worked well, but I would like to clean up my network a bit (less devices, more organized, less maintenance, less complexity). If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. You may be annoyed with this, as it will set the fan speed earlier, unless you have a good heat sync on your NVME device.
