Output Noise

We used a CEM-8852 Sound DB Meter that is installed 50 cm away from the NAS for these measurements. Ambient noise in our lab was below 30 dBA while these noise measurements were taken.



With the fans spinning at low speeds, the server is pretty quiet considering it hosts eight mechanical drives which don't run that cool. Noise increases as the fans speed up, and at about half their full speed, noise output is still tolerable. However, with both fans rotating at full speed, noise output is quite annoying.
