SSD drives can help eliminate noise though they come at a cost, the price of 1TB SSD drives has dropped quite a bit, down to £116 for crucial 1TB models.
Synology NAS can go quiet under the right conditions, under control panel->hardware & power
* there is a fan speed mode, besides quiet mode there is a low power mode which stops the fan so long as the temp remains in cool range, if the room does not get too hot you can use low power mode with no fan noise from NAS.
* in same area there is power schedule tab, this allows you to power on/off the NAS, very useful if the NAS is only ever going to be used at certain times.
* you also have HDD hibernation, this will spin down the HDD's making it much more quiet so long as there is no activity, you can set the time period to wait, however be aware some third party apps you may install on the NAS via Syno app store will block this function as they may be always scanning at intervals. |
