This is a case that holds both a Raspberry Pi + SSD where the Pi is housed in an Armor Aluminum Alloy Case Protective Shell ( here: https://www.banggood.com/Armor-Aluminum-Alloy-Case-Protective-Shell-Metal-Enclosure-with-Dual-Fan-for-Raspberry-Pi-4-Model-B-Only-p-1539507.html?cur_warehouse=CN ) and a 2.5" SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo shown in the picture. They are linked via a SATA to USB cable ( currently using a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085RK9ZZ2 ).

Of note, the SATA to USB cable is plugged in to the Pi's USB 2.0 port as the machine is booting Windows from the SSD drive; something that does not really work at this point when the SSD drive is plugged into the USB 3.0 port. I've tested with three different SATA to USB cables so far, none have worked well with USB 3.0.

The case has two screw holes in the bottom (as shown in the second picture, which may or may not be used as you see fit as the drive stays in place just fine without them).

Pro tip: I matched the colour of the case and my LAN cable for better cable management/identification!

The print was made with Autodesk Fusion 360, and the associated .f3d file is included along with the .stl file.

Hope this will be of good use to you.
