Question 1

Does this support nvme cards like the samsung 970 evo m.2 nvme?

Accepted Answer

NO. this enclosure is NOT compatible with NVMe drives. It is only compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs.

Question 2

Recommended m.2 card

Accepted Answer

Any B-key and B+M key compatible M.2 SSD will work. I installed a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB M.2 drive in mine. Does NOT support NVMe SSD's!

Question 3

which m.2 ssd size is okay? 2280? 2260? 2240?

Accepted Answer

either 2260 or 2280 M.2 sata or a 2.5 inch sata drive. The transfer rate is limited by the usb3.0 spec.

Question 4

Amz listing for top package (of the 3) is confusing! is this the argon one m.2 and ssd base as one set? no pi, psu nor ssd included right?

Accepted Answer

3 Versions:
1- No M.2 is only moving position of micro HDMI(no conversion to HDMI) and Audio to same side as USB. Has opening for SD slot in correct position. Fan included. Ordered by me. Needed next version.
2- M.2 bottom part(no conversion to HDMI, no remote sensor) uses part already ordered above only adds M.2 with USB 3 connection with donggle provided. No access to the SD card slot I found out after I ordered so kinda regretted as boot is required with SD for most things so if you want to go to different Operating systems kinda an issue and I haven't changed to M.2 sata SSD card yet as still trying to play with operating systems. Want Windows but not a fully updatable version yet and arm 64 version available just recently but buggy. (M.2 sata SSD card 2280 separate has to be this type of SSD) I ordered SSD tried to use with Twister but not fully working yet as haven't switched to SSD storage yet. I had to make a hole for the SD card change out for booting different operating systems. For this reason should have bought the next version and HDMI conversion. 
3-M.2 bundle (haven't ordered yet as my build has run me tight on money should have just bought this one to begin with just for the HDMI conversion) I had to buy micro SD conversion cords for previous version if bought this version wouldn't have had to. Still have to buy separate M.2 sata SSD card I bought one on sale which was a great price plus I had a first time order credit so really good deal. If only I bought this version. I am not sure if this version has slot for SD card as same bottom as the second version I believe comes with this version. I am guessing not. I would suggest if you order argon m.2 buy the whole bundle not separately. This version even if you have an SD card slot issue like me at least until I put everything to M.2 sata SSD card. Just some OS require booting through SD card I believe. Still new to Rasberry pi 4B 8GB wifi version as well as Linux. The command in Linux is included in your instruction manuals for fan but the fan wouldn't work through Windows the times I tried and command wouldn't work through command prompt so need to figure out as it got real hot with Windows the last try and slow too.
