Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVMe Case for Raspberry Pi 5 with Active Cooling

Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVMe Case for Raspberry Pi 5 This case turns your Raspberry Pi 5 into a tidy, desktop-ready unit with full M.2 NVMe support. It is designed to hold the Raspberry Pi 5 board securely while providing a practical way to add high-speed storage through the PCIe connection. The case is a complete housing solution, so you can keep your setup neat and protected without extra brackets or adapters. M.2 NVMe Storage Support The case is built around the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe interface, allowing you to connect an M.2 NVMe drive directly for faster storage access. It supports M.2 NVMe drives with an M key up to 2280 size, giving you flexibility when choosing a drive. The drive itself is not included, so you can select the capacity and model that suits your needs. An impedance controlled FPC cable is supplied in the box to ensure reliable and consistent data transfer between the board and the drive. Thermal Management Keeping the Raspberry Pi 5 and the M.2 drive cool is a key part of this design. The case includes an integrated aluminium heatsink for the M.2 NVMe drive, which helps manage heat during sustained read and write operations. In addition, a heatsink is fitted over the Raspberry Pi 5's power management chip next to the CPU, as both components generate heat under intensive use. For active cooling, a programmable 30mm fan with a blower function is repositioned within the case to run more quietly while still providing effective airflow. Practical Design The layout of the case has been thought through for everyday use. The fan position is chosen to reduce noise without compromising cooling performance, and the overall construction keeps the Raspberry Pi 5 and storage drive housed in a compact, tidy unit. This makes it suitable for desktop use, media centres, or any project where you want a clean, self-contained Raspberry Pi 5 setup with NVMe storage.
