Ultra 6 Plus Fan Replacement
Hi
I'm in desperate need to replace the exhaust fan on my Ultra 6 Plus. The fan which has died is a "Crown AGE12025B 12M". I've spent ages on Google trying to find a replacment but it's a bit of a minefield with different RPM (none seem to be 2200 which is what I believe I need), CFM, Amps etc.
Can anyone recommend a fan I can use to replace what I have? I'm based in UK so anywhere based online in the UK would be good. I'm willing to pay for a good quality quiet fan (ended up in this mess trying to fix the rattle in the Netgear supplied fan).
I'm desperate !! ReadyNAS is currently switched off and I can't watch any of my movies !!!
Please help.
Many thanks
Alan

- Call support see what they can RMA based on the warranty on it.
- RMA is no good I'm afraid. I really need to replace the fan myself.
- (cross-posting from a couple other threads about this, but...) Wanted to add to this thread since I ended up here Googling the problem initially, that I just successfully replaced a rattling/clicking case fan (the big one on the top) on my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus with a Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm Case Fan. It works. It's quiet. It comes with a four-pin connector but it still plugs into the 3 pin connector the old fan was plugged into on the ReadyNAS. Is there a better or different fan that would work? Probably. I have no idea. This one seems fine.
It's kinda pricey for a case fan, but the quality seems to be great and considering how much I spent on the ReadyNAS and drives, it's pretty cheap comparatively. $32 on Newegg. Here's a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608026
My enclosure was out of warranty. It was an easy installation. Just need a phillips screwdriver to remove the sides of the ReadyNAS enclosure, the plate the fan is screwed to, and the old fan. Great success.
