About this deal

You can build a NAS that competes with much more expensive options, and it looks like something from a sci-fi movie. Since Raspberry Pi 4 comes with a 1Gbps Ethernet, I decided to take advantage of it and create a reporting system in NodeRED that will monitor and report when the ISP is not keeping the contractual agreements. This script is very similar in feel to those used in the Argon ONE cases and it gives us granular control of the included case fan via the argon-config tool. I’m just trying to install the scripts, however installation process hangs, apparently while starting argononed.

No surprise to see the SSD's still running a *little* hotter, 'cos it's not actually connected to the chassis, but lookit those two hard drives: colder than in the Helios64. here comes the mandatory Question if / when a Version of the Argon Eon for the Raspberry Pi will arrive. I got a mere 16TB to fill all four bays and managed to get my wallet painfully thinner in the process. Argon Eon will draw more than a typical Raspberry Pi board, but considerably less than any NAS made from old PC parts.If the fan speed is set to above 1 and the fan has *not* been triggered, it seems to work fine; if it *has* been triggered the bottom few lines are entirely missing. I'm generally quite pleased, but I do disagree with the author of the review about the ease of use of OpenMediaVault.

If you follow guides from other places, then when something happens, you'll need to go to those other places to ask for help. The microSD card and GPIO even have been routed out the back and is protected with a removable plate.A real-time clock allows for accurate time to be kept in the event of a power outage and automating tasks such as restarting or getting data through APIs. OVM will offer you a full NAS package and an easy way to manage your storage, and permissions and install plugins and extras. Seems high - I forgot to take a reading before I installed the drives, so I need to remove 'em and check again. Sure we have a choice of SSD or HDD SATA drives, but they all connect to the Raspberry Pi 4 via a single USB 3. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .

For instance, if your HDD temp hits 35C, the fan will turn on at 30%, even if the CPU temp is running below 55C. A long time ago, I read and article about air flow from fans in a case with a obstructed air inlet/outlet… the gist of the article was… if the barrier is around 1 hub diameter away from the obstruction, the airflow was improved. I've taken it out and flipped it around, so it's extracting hot air from the top of the case instead of just redistributing it.All Rapsberry Pi Operating Systems (Raspberry Pi OS, Open Media Vault,Twister OS, Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi, etc.

This time around the case is more complicated as the board is deep inside the case with heat-generating drives mounted on top of the board. I have an entire article dedicated to the differences between Synology Diskstation and Argon Eon setup – check it out! Will probably back the new one - hell, it'd mean I could get rid of the ever-annoying Helios64 and clownshoes Armbian. I can now sleep more calmly knowing that my Argon Eon is less prone to micro SD card corruption and potential data loss.We moved on to testing the thermal properties of the Argon EON and, as we have a tall, open case with heatsinks and a 12V case fan, we felt assured that cooling would be good. port to connect to all 4 drives and the transfer speed will be limited to what the CPU can handle too. No boring black box here – instead we appear to have a pyramidical version of the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Seems to be quite a bit faster but some things changed like the USB ports being switched, which makes it impossible to use it with the EON because it would mean using the HDDs with a USB2. If you want your home server not only capable of huge storage and Raspberry Pi performance, but also as something great to look at, this is for you.
