Service Action to Prevent PSU Failures in ReadyNAS NV/NV+
A Service Action notice has been posted in the Announcement forum to prevent ReadyNAS NV and NV+ systems from premature power supply failures at viewtopic.php?t=10259. If you own a NV or NV+ within t...
I agree with the previous post: I am both grateful for the hard work done to provide solutions and communicate them and frustrated at the results.
I reversed my drive but the disk temps are 42-44 degrees (I have 4 X 500 GB drives, not the enterprise drives, either. The fan isn't spinning faster than 1700 rpm except on boot-up. DOES THIS SEEM NORMAL? Thanks.
I too am horrified at the prospect of reversing this fix and going to the high fan speed with its higher noise levels. I just spent a lot of time and some money quieting my new pc. The only solution for me will be to run a gigabit wired network through my house, locating the NV+ far away (in the cool basement). Given my thick plaster walls, this is going to cost some money also.
At the moment, using the scheduler to turn the NV+ on and off only when backing up is working well, but that won't last once I try to to back up multiple computers every day and stream music on demand (which was the plan).
One observation: with the fan reversed, I saw no difference in drive temp with the front door open or closed (my attempt at modeling the removal of the dust cloth grill before actually removing it). Since my fan never spins very fast , maybe I would only notice the benefits of decreased resistance in the airflow path if it ran at 2400 rpm.
Question: Do I need one of the software fixes to bump up the fan speed, no matter which way the fan is pointing?
One question: is there any chance that using any acoustic damping material at strategic places in the case will cut down on noise?
Another question: is there any possibility of a replacement door with a built in fan, so we can push air in and pull it out? Even with an external power supply, this seems to me it could cut down on the rpm per fan and decrease noise (in my fantasy world, anyway). I have a bunch of silent 120 mm fans that would love to take up residence in the front of the NV+.
And maybe finally: removing the dust filter for the reversed fan method is irrelevant to dust if the fan is now blowing in from the back, but wouldn't we want a dust filter at the back, in between the fan and the components?
Thanks!
