Raidiator 4.2.22 (x86) fan noise too loud on Ultra 6
I have a pair of Ultra 6 boxes in my living room. Normally, these boxes have their drives spun down due to inactivity, and the fan noise from the boxes is inaudible even when standing next to the box...
Same issue. I have a Ultra 4 Plus, and after upgrading from 4.2.21 to 4.2.22, the fan often runs much faster (louder) at the same ambient temperature as before. In some ways, this may be a good thing though as it extends the lifetime of the machine and disks if they run cooler - perhaps Netgear has lowered the target temperatures, causing it to run faster. As I write though, it has dropped from 2800RPM all the way to 1603RPM with CPU=51C and SYS=36C. Disks range from 40-42C (Disk 2 is always the hottest in the sandwich). Now at 1762RPM.
Can other users please post their CPU/SYS temps, disk temps and fan speed?
