Did you configure your Pi to boot from the SSD? You didn't say anything
about that. Argon seems to provide a couple of scripts to config a Pi
for that. Which is a little scary but I assume those steps in their
scripts are needed. Although the settings listed are just a few in
eeprom config and config.txt.

I saw a list of tested SSDs somewhere, here's one:

https://forum.argon40.com/t/argon-neo-5-nvme-case-with-wd-red-sn700-1tb/2339/2

It lists Crucial P2, P3 and P3 Plus.
