True. The new fan has a CFM of 27 m³/h, which seems to be higher than the original fan... I hope I'm safe :)
Hi,
i have a couple of questions:
Which model is currently in the duo?
What´s the impact on the temperatures. Did you noticed any improvement?
I have 2 500GB HDD´s in my duo and the temperatures with the original fan are for both HDD´s 44-46 °C
I planing in fact to use this fan:

I'm also considering swapping it out with a compatible, lower CFM model.
I don't know what the temperature was before, but right now I have 2 500GB HDD with one on 43 C temp and the other at 36 C. The NAS has been powered in all day and music has been playing from one of the HDD now for at least 5 hours.
Fan 1 1923 RPM
I believe the Papst fan will work good.
