Thanks for the response, but I can't really see the answer to my question anywhere. Lots of the links don't work either. I just want to know if I need a 3-pin fan or a 4 pin PWM chasis fan on an NV+.
thanks!
Does this thread help?: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/NV-Fan/td-p/831711
Somewhat. From what I can see, it is a 3-pin, but nothing i've read explicitly confirms that. I've ordered one - i'll post the results when I swap it out.
The NV+ (v1) is an evolutionary improvement over a product released over 10 years ago. So it is quite old hardware now.
With more recent ReadyNAS such as our current models we would use PWM.
