Hi there,
I'm new to the forum, but already found really helpful informations here.
I recently moved my stuff into a 19" rack cabinet.
Right now my NAS is still a Lian Li case with a custom how-swap cage and bezel that hold 3x120mm Noctua NF-A12 fans pushing air at 50% on 7 hard drives and 3 SSD. (see picture attached, old setup with other fans but you get the idea)
The case is just placed horizontally on a shelf.
Right now the drives are sitting at 35-37°C except these f****** WD RED 8TB drives that are in the 50-55°C range depending on the load...
I will soon move the hardware in a Inter-Tech 4U 4129-N case, to have a real rack mountable case and use the shelf for something else.
Due to the custom hot-swap cage i can have only the 3 Noctua in the middle of the new case, pulling air throught the drives.
I'm begining to doubt about airflow for the drives.. Will it be enough?
I have no experience in rack mountable case cooling. Any advice would be very appreciated.
Cheers!
