NAS204 HD and CPU Temp
I purchased a NAS204 and I am using 2 WD Hard drives in it.... WD2001FFSX, 7200 rpm, 64mb cache, Red Drives @ 2TB each.
I am new to this NAS and slowly getting the hang of it. Seem to work well...
CPU at 58 degreec C? Luxury!
I too share the concerns over heat of the CPU. Also interesting to note how much cooler the WD RED NAS drive runs than the older drives (although they are also 7200rpm ones)
Admittedly this is doing a RAID rebuild but nonetheless, last thing you'd want is for heat to kill it while rebuilding.
After reading your external fan comment, i've ordered a couple of fan options that are USB powered so i'll use those while it spends the next day or two rebuilding. I also ordered a little USB flexi stalk fan, I have a USB stick which is basically an SSD in form factor and it runs great for the first few minutes until it becomes heatsoaked. My office colleague is always entertained when I have to move the desk fan to blow on it when copying for a long time.
