Pro6 system fan speed adjustment
I have an older Pro Business edition and a newer Pro6 that sit next to each other with enough space in between for air circulation. The system fan on the Pro 6 often runs much faster than on the Pro....
OK, so it's not just the Pro6. I just "caught" my Pro BE doing the same thing. Drive, system, and CPU temperatures well within normal range but system fan at 2280RPM. Just as soon as I looked at the health status to check the RPM's, the fan started dropping speed in steps and is now down to 932. The unit completed RAID scrubbing some 20 hours ago, but probably hasn't been accessed since. I just updated my firmware to 4.2.26 (from 4.2.21) about a month ago, and I never saw this kind of thing before that (except, of course, when activity or room temperature drove up the temperatures). I had stuck with the older version because of problems that arose with the dreaded Seagate ST2000DL003's with 4.2.22 and I finally decided to see if the latest was working with them (so far, so good). So I don't know if this is new in 4.2.26 or snuck in earlier.
