My 4U JBOD NAS box noise is dominated by the goddamn 1U-style jet engine fans.
45 helium HDDs themselves are relatively quiet.
PS: I ditched non-Solaris ZFS several years ago after ZoL destroyed itself unable to mount RW and the community shrugged at glaring fragility. XFS + mdadm (raid10) are solid and work. Boring and reliable get less press, but I like working over not working. Maybe folks here run Sun Thumpers at home which would be a form of ZFS that works.
- kaliszad 2y agoNow the common code base of upstream OpenZFS is the FreeBSD/ Linux code. Things have changed a lot with OpenZFS 2.0 AFAIK. Yeah, server vendors are a bit crazy with small jet engine fans. A 4U chassis could easily house 80, 92 or even 120 mm fans which could spin much slower with a much higher air flow. That would of course also be much more efficient.
