Flashing an Image using the Argon One case with M.2 SSD

_by @RickDangerous_

If you are using the Argon One case with an M.2 SSD installed inside the case, then you

have a couple of options to connect the drive to the PC for flashing the image.

First option is using a USB A to USB A cable.

Plug one end of the calbe into the PC and the other end into the USB port on the expansion section

at the bottom of the case and flash the image to the drive.

Second option is to buy an enclosure for the M.2 SSD drive and flash the drive using the

enclosure, then remove the drive and install it into the Argon One case.

Recommended Software to flash the image to the drive.

I personally use the balenaEtcher:

balenaEtcher

Using Etcher select flash from file, locate the image your going to flash and

then select target, which is the drive your going to flash it to. Then press flash!

If you have any problems flashing the drive using etcher, alternatively you can use the:

Raspberry Pi Imager
