Many months ago, Argon Forty sent me an Argon One V5 NVMe case for Raspberry Pi 5, along with the Argon Industria OLED display, and Argon Industria Zigbee Module. I wanted to migrate my existing Home Assistant installation from an Argon NEO 5 NVMe case into the larger ONE V5.
Read MoreWith memory prices continuing to rise, there are shortages of some Raspberry Pi products and significant price increases in many more. We’ve also seen a 3GB version of the Raspberry Pi 4 being released in 2026 based on a new PCB design to offer a broader range of memory sizes.
Read MoreIn August 2024 I set a new high score for Geekbench benchmarks on the Raspberry Pi 5 beating Jeff Geerling using the same techniques he used. You can read about that in this old post. In March this year I recieved an email from Julian, who’d read my blog post
Read MoreI wanted to charge my car with excess solar, rather than letting the solar export to the grid. I also prefer to have local control and not rely on 3rd party cloud services. Whilst many people can take advantage of smart energy tariffs to use lower price electricity overnight to
Read MoreI recently reviewed the latest flagship case from Argon Forty, the Argon ONE V5 and I was pretty impressed by this latest design. At the time I didn’t get round to testing the storage performance, but now I have and it’s turned up a disappointing surprise. The Argon ONE V5
Read MoreArgon Forty released the first version of the Argon ONE case for the Raspberry Pi 3 following a successful kickstarter campaign. This was followed up with a similar looking V2 for the Raspberry Pi 4, later offered with a range of different bases to provide support for SATA and NVMe
Read MoreFirstly, none of this is original. I was inspired by Jeff Geerling’s blog post on hacking firmware to get the fastest overclock. With 3 Raspberry Pi 5’s lying around waiting for the next project I was curious how I’d fared in the silicon lottery. Could any of my Raspberry Pi
Read MoreI’ve only previously used and tested metal Argon Raspberry Pi cases like the NEO and Argon One variants. I’ve not had experience with the Argon Poly+ for Raspberry Pi 4 ABS plastic case, that was designed to be a budget-friendly enclosure for your Raspberry Pi. The Argon Poly+ 5 aims
Read MoreUnlike other case reviews, the EDATEC ED-IPC3020 isn’t just an industrial case for a Pi 5, it’s a full product with a Raspberry Pi 5 installed and a custom daughter board providing additional functionality. Disclaimer: This case was supplied for review by EDATEC, they do not have any editorial influence.
Read MoreWith the introduction of PCIe connections on the Raspberry Pi 5, we are seeing the launch of new products that use this interface for fast NVMe storage. I previously documented my Home Assistant migration from SD-card to SSD on my Raspberry Pi 4 using an Argon ONE M.2 SSD case.
