ReadyNAS Duo V1 fan full speed!!!!
Hi! I have a problem with my fan speed ReadyNAS Duo v1 (firmware 4.1.16). After a "reset factory" the fan full speed all the times (5600rpm)! i also tried to calibrate the fan but that did not hel...
Oh Joy - Peace and Quiet
Finally sorted this one and my suspicions were confirmed.
There is an add on called EnableFanMinRPMOverride_0.1 in the Readynas duo downloads for SPARC
Download this and install just like a firmware update (browse file from PC from browse button)
Reboot and there will be an extra option in the Power section that allows you to set the fan minimum speed (I set as 2000 and applied) . I also set the disks to power down after 5 mins as well then applied and rebooted.
After the reboot, after a few minutes the system slowly lowered the fan speed close to the value I set (2000). I then tried the recalibrate button and this was now working and reset the fan after a couple of minutes.
There are WARNINGS not to set this too low just in case so 2500 is acceptable noise - lower if you feel lucky.
If you look in the Health section it will give a fan speed but you need to toggle between health and logs to get current speed as it does not vary with the fan speed.
Did all this on 4.1.16 RAIDIATOR.
Confirms my theory as the factory reset changed the speed of the fan in EPROM and did not set back at the end.
Hi ZenPiPS
There are newer models of ReadyNAS wherein the issue has been fixed however for RAIDiator, updates would be impossible since its already in EOL.
It would be wise to plan on changing your unit to OS6.

No!
I'm not agree!
My ReadyNas Duo v1 works for me, only problem with fan and it's Netgear ERROR!
Well, it's a NAS that's at least 6 years old (because they stopped manufacturing it in late 2011), and somehow I doubt it's had this problem all along.
Perhaps a sensor has failed, or perhaps (less likely) it's a software bug. Either way, it's long out of warranty, and there is no one working on this very old product any more.
Netgear did provide you a solution, you just don't like the way they did it? I don't think you are going to find many sympathetic to your cause.
Hi!
My NAS worked very very well, it's after a "reset factory" that the fan became crazy!
It is 100% a software BUG from NetGear!Bye!
I'm not saying it's not. I'm, saying they fixed it with a patch, which I am sure is a lot easier to get through their release process, instead of a new release. But they did fix it, and you are simply complaining about the way in which they fixed it. Since having to factory reset should be a rare thing, I just don't see why you are so up in arms about it.
