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...
How can Netgear tell if i replaced the fan ? When changing the fan, is there a sticker that i have to remove or something like that ?
My ReadyNAS is very noisy (i'm in a silent room) and the fan is very annoying. I'm in a temperature controlled room with green drives so the temperatures are always under 40'C.
I'm sure i can change the fans without overheating my unit but i'm worried about losing my warranty since i already had a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 fail for absolutly no reason and i had to RMA it. So if i change the fan, then my unit fail (not because of overheating) can i just change back the fan to the original and RMA the unit to netgear or is there a way they will notice it ?
