Are you tired of relying on popular cloud services like Google Drive or OneDrive that require monthly fees or limit your storage capacity? Do you have spare hard disks lying around that you want to put to good use? Look no further than the Argon EON Pi NAS.
The Argon EON Pi NAS is a 4-Bay SATA NAS Enclosure powered by the versatile Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. Designed by electronics enthusiasts Argon40, the Argon EON is a Build Your Own Network Attached Storage (BYO-NAS) that provides you with full control over your own cloud storage.
The design of the Argon EON is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The cyberpunk-inspired enclosure is made from space-grade aluminum, giving it a modern and angular look while maintaining its structural rigidity. The built-in controllable fan, combined with the aluminum's heat conductivity, ensures that the Raspberry Pi and hard disks remain cool even under heavy loads.
At the heart of the Argon EON are its four SATA hard drive ports, which can accommodate two 3.5" SATA HDDs and two 2.5" SATA HDD/SSDs, with a maximum capacity of 10 TB per bay for a total of 40 TB capacity. Plus, the built-in Real-time Clock makes it possible to schedule tasks that previously weren't possible with just a bare Raspberry Pi.
The Argon EON also features a programmable OLED display situated under the multi-function power button, allowing for seamless integration with the case. The display can show your IP address, CPU status, and other essential information needed for the operation of your NAS.
All the ports on the Argon EON are systematically situated at the back of the unit to hide unsightly cables. This includes easy access to the MicroSD card and GPIO pins via a removable cover. The Raspberry Pi's dual Micro-HDMI are also converted to full-size HDMI. You'll receive a UK 3-pin 12V 5A power supply that powers the entire unit, including your Raspberry Pi, so there's no need for another power supply.
One of the best things about the Argon EON is that it's compatible with all Raspberry Pi 4 compatible OS, including Raspberry Pi OS, Open Media Vault, Twister OS, and Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi. The NAS has 4 drive bays, which are compatible with 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD (max 4 drives) or 3.5" SATA HDD (max 2 drives). The max single volume size is 18TB. You'll also have access to RJ-45 1GbE LAN port x1, USB 3.0 x2, USB 2.0 x2, Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO header, HDMI ports - up to 4kp60 supported x2, and a 4-pole stereo audio and composite video port x1.
With the Argon EON Pi NAS, you'll have full control over your own cloud storage, allowing you to expand your storage capacity without monthly fees or limits. And with the Argon EON's clean design and versatile features, you'll have a powerful tool for your daily computing needs. In summary, the Argon EON is an excellent choice if you're looking to build your own NAS system. Get yours now!
