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...
Hi all,
I just installed a Fractal Design 60mm silent fan given the feedback i saw in some forum posts.
The first feedback is that it is in fact more silent then the stock CROWN AGE06025B12U but even after calibration i don't get reasonable lower RPM speed :cry: :
These are the reading 10min after a reboot:
Disk 1 WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 1863 GB , 26 C / 78 F , Write-cache ON
Disk 2 WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 1863 GB , 27 C / 80 F , Write-cache ON
Fan 1 2027 RPM
I will monitor closely the HDD's temps to avoid any problems... I do remember that the original operating temps were around 36C-37C (under heavy data writing/reading).
I am also aware that the original fan would draw more air and support higher rpm.
I will keep testing and let you guys know the results.
Look forward to hear any feedback either way :D
