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...
My DUO started posting fan errors in the log. After a couple weeks of on and off fan errors, I took the DUO apart to remove the fan which I took to the local computer store. They sold me a fan that was actually thinner than the NAS fan. They said the fan they sold me was more than capable as far as CFM and was also quite. I installed the fan and have not had any errors logged for the fan and the temperature of the two drives are in the same range as I saw on the Health page in Frontview before the Factory fan started having errors. The fan has been in the DUO for almost 6 months and not one error for HD temperatures or the fan speed. Also, the fan is quite to the point I cannot hear it. My DUO is located on a wooden shelf in front of me and slightly above my head.
