For this I installed SSD Optimizer but it didn't kick in until a restart. Speaking of fail-safe, I also run Duplication in DP for now, just for the piece of mind until I have fully tested the snapraid app in a recovery mode. I ran this the first time, and plan on running it once the balancing is done. Snapraid is installed, as well as Elucidate for the GUI, with 2 parity drives for my 10 disk array, one disk being same size as the biggest in the array. 'version of the drive' to not confuse the disks if they are ever connected in the same computer. Next up, I had to rename all drives 'Icybox (//USB version>)' to make sure I knew what to hotswap in the unlikely event ( ) that a disk goes nuts.

The HDD's are at a stable 26C even at high load under a long time, which makes me confident buying fan regulators from aliexpress.

So I replaced these with a 'Noctua NF-P14s redux-900 140mm' where the installation without a hitch, and a 'Noctua NF-R8 redux-1200 80mm' where I found that it could not be started without help, so I bought Y-cable connected to the 140mm as well () because the pin connector ON the PSU won't be able to drive my 80mm Noctua(!).Īll in all, the sound level in my room went from 56.3 dB to 39.6 db, which is like a breeze for me. Now for the box itself, you get it with 2 fans, one 140mm for the harddrives and a 80mm for the power supply, that had about 20 more dB output that I hated, living in an apartment and all. So I have worked with this enclosure for quite some time without any hitch, achieving the max that my old drives can achieve (tested without drivepool, 50mb/sec).
