“Good case if a little fiddly diddly to put together. If you have fingers like needles no problems but my fat sausages struggled. Also found one screw slightly too short to grip despite very carefully ensuring alignment of parts.”
“Very good quality case that is easy to assemble and looks great. The SSD was was easy to fit and was instantly recognisable by the operating system once reformatted to ext4.
This was required as mine had previously been used in a windows laptop and therefore was formatted in NTFS.
I have powered it with the standard 27w raspberry pi psu without problem. Whilst the instructions are a bit thin, there is plenty of advice on the web including the pi hut.
I have not yet tried to boot from the ssd, due to time constraints, but I am sure that it will work.
The case is well worth the extra over the non. SSD case and gives extra flexibility.”
“Really well made, with quality materials. Was a big improvement over the other case I was using, with lower temperatures. So much so that the fan hasn't kicked in once yet. The nvme base works flawlessly with PCI express gen3 speeds with a Lexar NM790 2TB.”
“The NEO 5 is an ok case, but be aware that the only output is micro HDMI which for most new raspberry pi users, they won't be familiar with or have this kind of cable. It's also worth noting that this case will come with two screws that aren't long enough on one side. This is because the Pi takes up space inbetween the screw and the thread, you will need to get longer screws and this is also what the original vendor (Argon) advises. Trying to source tiny screws can be a challenge and not having the case assembled can leave you feeling dissapointed when first setting up, particularly for new Pi users. For the extra £5/£10, the Argon ONE V3 is worth every penny. It converts the micro to full normal HDMI ports and the case assembles well first time without any issues, I ended up buying this to replace the Argon NEO 5.”
