Argon One M.2 case fitted with a Raspberry Pi 4 and a WD Green M.2 SATA SSD. Video includes SSD speed test and comparative temperature test. The Argon 40 manufacturer web page for the Argon One M.2 case is here: https://www.argon40.com/argon-one-m-2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4.html Note that I purchased the unit shown in the video from Pimoroni -- https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/argon-one-m-2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4 -- but have no association with either company. The video in which I built my Ultimate Raspberry Pi 4 Rig is here: /watch/UC91cswZYIHZ1 My most recent video in which I perform cooling tests on a number of Raspberry Pi 4 cases, fans and heat sinks is here: /watch/Y0qpGpO6CJV6p And I first covered USB booting on a Raspberry Pi 4 in this episode: /watch/s5MycGjwrz2wy More videos on SBCs and wider computing and related topics can be found at: /explainingcomputers You may also like my ExplainingTheFuture channel at: /explainingthefuture Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:44 Unboxing 04:51 Assembly 09:33 Testing the SSD 11:47 Temperatures 15:07 Wrap #RaspberryPi #ArgonOneM2 #ExplainingComputers

    @butters_147منذ 3 سنوات This is the perfect box to replace my 12 year old Linux box. I love the adaptor for the full size HDMI ports. The M.2 drive just puts the icing on the id="hidden1" class="buttons"> cake.
    Thanks as always Chris. You're a gentleman and I could listen to your videos all day.

    @piconanoمنذ 3 سنوات My first computer was an IBM PC I put together out of parts I was supposed to send back to IBM, working as an IBM field technician back in 1984. id="hidden3" class="buttons"> />The motherboard alone cost $1500 to buy as a part, so I did component level repairs on things I needed, until I built a system. Something one can't do today.
    One look at today's motherboard, and one will faint at the thought of repairing it!
    Now, one can buy a RPi 4 for under $100 that is 400+ times faster (1600 times with 4 cores), and has 500,000+ times the RAM of an original IBM PC!
    How far and fast we have come! Amazing times.

    @darlakim5120منذ 3 سنوات Excellent review as usual.I very much enjoy your series. Three additional thoughts:
    1. Running the RPi without the GPIO cover significantly improves id="hidden12" class="buttons"> cooling.that might be an interesting metric to add to your table.
    2. The Argon One's power port frees up the RPi's original USC-C port !!! Unbeknownst to many, this port is also capable of passing data as well as power delivery ( the Argon One's USB-C is only capable of power delivery).
    I modified my case to connect an Apple iPadPro OEM cable USB-C cable to this connector, and can directly power and connect to the RPi via SSH or XRDP from my iPadPro while on the road.
    I have full access to my programming environments (command-line, Python, Jupyter Hub, etc.) as well as RPi desktop accessible from the iPadPro ( I don't own / need a tradition laptop anymore ;-) ).
    3. Argon sells just the M.2 bottom-half of the case to upgrade the original Argone One for about $25 USD.
    -Thanks! -d

    @arthurdent8091منذ 3 سنوات Hi Chris, a belated Towel Day greetings to you. I just bought a Baofeng Tri-band radio for about $35 here and it seems to be performing quite well soo id="hidden22" class="buttons"> far. I also took this opportunity to get out my Ailunce HD-1 and begin to program it. I bought it shortly before getting sick so now I decided is the time. I also had a very nice surprise and discovered that if I downloaded a certain driver the memory locations DOUBLE without the need to send into a shop. And to top it all off I downloaded several codeplugs that hope to have installed before the summer is over. All I can say is THANK YOU Ailunce!! You never mentioned, that I recall, if you said you were a Ham or not. I find that it is good to have several ways to make contact with the rest of the world in an emergency. Just a brief story to illustrate my point, some years ago when mobile phones were new a local fire chief held aloft his shiny new mobile and pronounce to all of the surrounding Hams, that he felt that hams had become redundant. Naturally, the hams had two unvoiced opinions, one - "I've heard that before" and "We will see." One of the chief hams knew the area and sly challenged him to make a contact right now. The fireman fired it up and got NO bars, not even static. The chief ham knew that they were standing in an rf "Black Hole". He then proceeded to make an effortless contact to another ham, who was standing by some miles away in crystal clear audio. "Civilians" have no concept of such things while Hams do. The ham left him with two parting thoughts, 1- That Amateur radios death has been predicted many times before, and 2- Good luck with his new toy. and walked away trying to stifle a laughing fit with some of the other hams present.
    I'm a bit wordy but I didn't have the time to make it any shorter. 73

The best things id="hidden24" class="buttons"> about the case are that all the connectors go in the back, full-size HDMI, and neatness of the overall case.

    @mlgreenspan1760منذ 3 سنوات This is just about the Ultimate case for the RPI 4 - my only (almost too minor) comment is to take the door off the top that covers the GPIO PINS OUT id="hidden27" class="buttons">
    I noticed a 2-3 degree drop in temp from doing this, as I think it helps increases airflow.
    Bought a RPI 4 about 2 months ago and love it - used this case to go from the 32 GB micro SD card to a 128GB SSD.

    @Sidecutterمنذ 3 سنوات Looks like they could add a couple very nice features pretty easily. Extend the SD card slot out slightly and give you a slot to use it on the case, and id="hidden34" class="buttons"> flip the M2 socket onto the bottom of the board, with a hatch in the case bottom for easy access.

I have the old Argon One and it gets very hot, it’s not very comfortable to hold in hand (also the internal fan is very annoying, producing an high pitch sound, but usually ti doesn’t last long). Also the metal ssd case I use for the drive gets very hot too. So I wonder if having such a hot component just under the pi would be wise. ....وسعت
