“Great single solution for both heat and NVMe connectivity. Looks good and feels robust when assembled. My only complaint is that to get to the SD card requires complete disassembly of the case and the flex cable connection is a weak point when disassembled. It's not entirely Argon's fault due to the RPi design but still annoying while getting up and running.”
“My go-to case, never let me down for both this one and the same one without the NVME slot, both great cases depending on what you need. Good cooling too.”
“Great small form factor case offering NVME support, looks super stylish, only downside for me was the orientation of ports for cable management purposes but more of a problem with the Pi 5 than the case itself.”
“Excellent case for the Raspberry Pi 5. The Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVMe case keeps the Pi noticeably cool even under constant load, and the build quality feels solid. Installation was straightforward and user friendly, with clear access to ports and storage. A great choice if you want cooling and NVMe support without hassle.”
“A great little case and more compact than plugging in an expansion board, which is what I had. The only difficulty I had was removing the active cooler I had previosly fitted, when I found the useful tip of using a ballpoint pen barrel to push over the lugs.
Assembly of the new configeration was straight forward even with my less than nimble fingers.
Finally, the case runs very cool, not even hand hot and the chip temperature was 59 deg C, well within normal parameters.”
“I found it a challenge to assemble and get the Pi 5 running, as only one of the supplied NVMe cables worked with the drive. The SD card slot is also covered by the NVMe cable, meaning the whole unit has to be disassembled to change the SD card.
Once everything is put together, however, it becomes a nice, sturdy case for the Raspberry Pi 5.”
