My setup: RPi4-2GB Argon-one-M2 case ( https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-m-2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4) Liteon 16GB M.2 2242 SSD RTC module integrated into the housing Homemade ~ 2hrs UPS (5.2 V, 2.5 A) Bresser WSX3001 (7in1), user.sdr driver BME280 + AS3935 extensions connected to i2c port
It has been working without problems for 2 years. A small SSD capacity (16 GB) makes easier regular full disk image backups. Not sure that a UPS is essential since the Argon-one restarts automatically after a power outage (POs very infrequent and always of short duration).
