Pioneer Pro - CPU Fan Replacement (case:18753339)

Hello, I have a Readynas Pioneer Pro Business Edition. I've owned it for 3 years, and just discovered that it is from "Batch 1" which means my CPU fan has been running at 4,400 RPM for the last three years straight. The good news, is that I'm now aware that it shouldn't sound like an airport is in my office. I've since done the "Service Action" (http://www.readynas.com/?p=1912) and it is running far slower (1,500 RPM).

The bad news is that 3 years of 4,400 RPM has taken it's toll on this CPU Fan. It now squeaks something fierce as the bearings seem to be going out. I would like to replace this fan with something else, but I don't know which fan to purchase. I've searched online for the original and had no luck.

Please advise which fan I can purchase to replace my worn out CPU Fan.

Thanks in advance.

Great news. It seemed to all work. The silly drive trays wouldn't come out! I had to use the paperclip trick and find the invisible hole two up from the real button. But I got them all out and the new drives in.

I noticed I got downgraded to a Pioneer Pro again instead of Business Edition (Namely because I'm missing the Snapshot section in Frontview), but at this point it isn't worth complaining since everything is working!

Anything else I need to know before I close this out?

Well your thread title was a bit confusing and you never mentioned in the thread clearly which one you'd purchased but one would've thought support would've known which you purchased.

If you purchased the Business Edition I would contact support about it. They could arrange another RMA or possibly to fix the issue remotely depending on the availability of replacement units.
