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...
I have modified my Duo fan by installing one of the add-in resistors that came with a Noctua 92mm fan.
I replaced my NV fan with a Noctua but didn't use either of the add-in resistors.
As there are only 2 drives in a Duo, the lower of the two add-in resistors seemed to work w/o giving drive temps that were too high.
For example, I have 2x Samsung HD103UJs in the Duo running all day at 35C with the fan at 1923rpm (says RAIDar).
It's quiet enough that it doesn't wake me up when it starts up (runs at half full speed at start up).
At 1923rpm or so it's OK, but not very very quiet.
