Argon SSD base can be connected to your computer using an appropriate USB-A to whatever USB port your computer uses. The SATA SSD in the Argon base will then act as a USB-connected drive.
A not-too-well-known fact is that the Raspberry Pi OS is also available for a Mac or Intel/AMD machine. This turns your desktop into a large RPi. I use it to run odd-ball situations when I don’t want to mess with RPi boards. Create a LIVE install onto a USB drive, and boot into an RPi running on a powerful CPU with 32GB RAM.
Thank you, that was super easy to follow and timely - I got notification last week that Raspberry Pis had come back into stock and I ordered one along with the Argon One case, Argon PSU with on/off cable and SSD. It all arrived today and it all worked on the first attempt.
I'm glad to hear it! Congrats on the new RPI as well, those have not been easy to get lately! I'm glad everything worked for you, I'm working on some videos for what's next so I hope you find them useful. If you need any help in the meantime, let me know! Thanks for the comment.
Ouuu I’m new to this I don’t know what (NIC) is but I’m doing this with an xps 15 laptop, I have the raspberry pi 4, on a nighthawk r7000 router. The raspberry is connected to Lan cable . But I don’t see the ip by the (wlan0). I also had an pi in the past that I got rid of.
Thanks for your video, you gave me the push to finally go HA, I made it almost to the end. HA is installed and seems to be working, wifi is connected however I can't open it on my browser, running a MAC mini with safari Version 16.6 . After entering the address I get "Safari Can't Open the Page". Were does the ":8123" come from is it the same for all. THX
I wish I had gotten that! I hadn't seen it when ordering this one a few years back and decided to stick with what I had. Good call out for others. I really like the Argon but the Sata drive is a big limitation.
Thanks for getting back to me... im new to Home ass. I got HassOS I2C up and running but step 4) Click the … button (in top left). 5) Add this Repository URL. Click ArgonOne Temp Control and install. i dont see no URL nor the app for ArgonOne temp controler in the app store!? @@ChuckBuilds
Seriously? I mean the video is great, but how can you recommend an NVME SSD .. and only line out on screen that it's actually not suited for the exact purpose of the video??
There are some argon kits and SSD expansion boards that work with NVME, in which case I would recommend an NVME. I would recommend an NVME over SATA SSD as it is faster and generally cheaper. However, for my specific Argon SSD expansion board it requires a SATA SSD. If you are purchasing these parts, get the NVME versions. If you already had the parts, double check it doesn't require SATA like mine did.
