I have a DAS and am pretty happy with the temps, but they could be slightly better since the DAS is in a closet and doesn't get that much airflow. My enterprise drives idle at 43-45 C which is ok, but could be a little better.
So i thought about adding a new and better fan to the enclosure (Icy Box IB-3805-C31), but the fan never changes speeds, literally never. I don't let my drives spin down but if they were to, the fan does stop spinning after a while, afaik that's the only control the DAS has over the fan. So if i were to add a 2000rpm fan, would it instantly shoot up to that rpm and always spin that fast? Is there a way to control fan speed? I can't see the DAS's fan on any program controlling fan speed so that's something...
Any idea on how it would behave? Any idea if there is a way to controll the fan speed? Thanks.
