ReadyNas Pro 6 High Temperature
I am running firmware version 6.9.3 on a old ReadyNAS Pro 6. Lately I have noticed that the system temperature is running higher than normal. I have noticed temperatures up to 68C. Hard drives and...
Thanks for everyones input.
As suggested I tried turning off Bit Rot Protection for each share on the NAS.
After letting it run overnight it cooled down to a new record low temperature with a system temperature of 54C.
Please note that this is with it set on the Cool setting. Not sure what happens at the Balanced or Quiet setting.

It appears that both fans are working properly. I also set the hard drives to go to sleep after 15 minutes.
I think my next step is to do a real good cleaning of each fan and surrounding internal areas.
I am much more comfortable with the lower temperatures now. I just hope that turning off Bit Rot Protection does not cause other problems in the future.
