A really silent fan!
The fan of my ReadyNAS NV+ was too noisy for desktop use in the long run, I actually had it tucked away in a closet to keep the fan noise away from my desk. Searching the net for a more quiet option, ...
The Noctua NF-B9?
If so, $20 @ Newegg with 32 reviews all saying 5 eggs. Pretty good.
What disks are in your NV+? 50C isn't a problem provided thats really the max temp. Have you checked to see if the temp rises when you really load the NAS? Like during a backup job, copying a large pool of files, etc.. Disks take some minutes to really heat up and the NAS is even slower @ updating Frontview.
As far as why didn't Netgear use this fan.....well its $20. That should answer your question when many other 92mm ball bearing fans can be purchased for 1/2 that price or less. Also, maybe a company like Noctua can't supply the demand a manufacturer like Netgear needs to keep their production lines humming along without fear of shortage.
