ReadyNas Pro - Side Fan - Noisy and Clicks
Hey
Since i got my ReadyNas Pro the side fan never seemed to be as quite as as i thought it should, every now and then it would make odd noises, which generally didnt bother me as the unit itself seemed fine. But as of late the weird noises are more regular and i think i will replace the fan. Does anyone know if you can order the same type of fan or is there are other or better fans to replace it with.
Cheers

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredWhich ReadyNAS Pro model do you have and when did you purchase it? The Pro Pioneer has a 3 year warranty. The Pro Business Edition and the new Pro Series (Pro 2/4/6) have 5 year warranties.
Replacing the fan with a 3rd party fan voids the warranty. I'd suggest working through the issue with NetGear tech support (http://www.readynas.com/support)
