Readynas Pro heat issues
Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I've had my Readynas Pro for about 7 years. Recently the power supply fan started to make funny noises and temperature was kind of high. Scheduled power...
That puzzles me. The HDD shutting down I mean.
Anyway the SYS fan pulls air from two cavities: the HDD cage and the motherboard van. The Motherboard van has a fan in it which means that that air "gets out first" if you see what I mean. If the SYS fan is not powerful enough, the air coming from the motherboard van will get out first. If you had no CPU fan, then the SYS fan would pull air from both cavities. So yes, it could be that if the SYS fan has the same airflow of the CPU fan, the HDD's wouldn't get any airflow.
That being said, I barely reached 40°C with the SYS fan not working. I am still puzzled. Any chance your HDD's were doing a re-sync or a scrub when that happened?
