The disks are quiet, but the cooling fans they often require are not (at least that's what I've learnt from having a Drobo with four 3.5" disks in my living room).
- timlossen 15y agothats why i use an ultra-silent 140mm fan ... running it at 5V (instead of 12V) makes it practically unhearable.
- DanBC 15y agoWhy do hard-drives, in a small home server, need cooling fans?
- pdubs 15y agoThey probably don't. http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf
- timlossen 15y agoyes, that is true, the disks will run fine without. airflow is mostly for any heat generated by the sheeva and port-multiplier boards .... just to be on the safe side.
