Replacing the fan in ReadyNAS Duo - possible?
Hello. Has anyone replaced/changed the (stock) fan in the Netgear ReadyNAS duo? I would like to do this, since I think the fan makes far too much noise. Any comments and thoughts about this is w...
That is a good starting point DiWa but the original Crown fan on its own still makes unnecessary noise I noticed. If you can live with that it’s fine. Putting a bigger fan at low speed stays advantageous and there is no need to modify the back plate of the Duo. So in case of warranty you can put back the stock fan.
My Nexus fan runs at 1800 RPM and is inaudible at that speed and keeps the drives 4 deg C lower than with the stock fan. Lower drive temperature extends lifespan and this goes exponential.
