About this item

The ArgonONE V3 M.2 NVMe PCIe Case is a premium aluminum enclosure engineered to unlock the full potential of your Raspberry Pi 5 by integrating high-speed NVMe storage. It includes a dedicated M.2 expansion board that plugs into the Pi 5’s PCIe lane, allowing support for M-Key SSDs up to 2280 size—ideal for ultra-fast boot and data storage. An included aluminum heatsink and thermal pad optimize drive temperature, enhancing longevity and performance. This sleek case blends advanced passive and active cooling: the entire aluminum body dissipates heat, while a 30 mm PWM blower-type fan angled for quiet efficiency manages airflow over both the Pi and SSD. A built-in RP2040 microcontroller controls fan speed and power operations (soft shutdown, boot behavior, jumper-configurable) managed by user-friendly scripts. All ports—including dual full-size HDMI, USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C power, and an IR receiver—are relocated to the rear for clean cable management. A magnetic cover hides a color-coded GPIO pin header for easy access, and a future DAC audio module upgrade enables a 3.5 mm jack. Assembly is tool-free and straightforward: connect the HDMI daughterboard, secure the PCIe ribbon, and screw the halves together. The M.2 SSD can then be upgraded without full disassembly—making this case both practical and future-ready. In short, the ArgonONE V3 M.2 NVMe PCIe Case transforms the Raspberry Pi 5 into a performant mini-PC or media center, combining elegant design, robust cooling, and seamless high-speed storage integration.
