Raspberry Pi 5 Argon ONE V5 M.2 NVMe case assembly and performance tests. The Argon ONE V5 is perhaps the ultimate desktop PC upgrade for a Raspberry Pi 5, adding not just a case, but also passive and active cooling, full-size HDMI connectors, an M.2 slot for an NVMe SSD, two extra USB 2.0 ports, an internal DAC and 3.5mm audio jack -- and more!

I purchased the Argon ONE V5 shown in the video from Pimoroni. However, it is also available from Amazon US here: https://amzn.to/3DVemPl -- and from Amazon UK here: https://amzn.to/4jgUpBE Note that these are affiliate links, from which I will earn a commission on all qualifying purchases.

The Argon ONE V5 case significantly upgrades the Raspberry Pi 5 by adding features such as passive and active cooling, an M.2 NVME SSD slot, additional USB ports, and an internal DAC for audio input/output. It is designed to enhance the Pi's capabilities, making it suitable for use as a NAS or a small server. The case also offers excellent thermal performance, keeping temperatures below 50°C without the fan needing to run. While it provides a premium desktop computing experience, its cost may be comparable to entry-level x86 mini PCs.
