Hi everyone,
I have 2 unraid servers that get too hot when parity syncing, especially in the summer, so it is time to change the fans (original fans that came with the case).
I like the cases I am using, and you cannot find anything similar these days, but due to their idiosyncrasies, I am not sure what type of fans I need, high airflow or static pressure?
So I would really appreciate your input:
1. As you probably can see, in both cases, the fan(s) on the bottom right leave some space between them and the cages (and there is additional space around the cages). What type of fan would be preferable (I am guessing airflow)?
2. For the middle bottom fans in 1st case what type of fan would be preferable (I am guessing pressure)?
3. I also have some 2->3 and 3->4 cages for the 5.25″ drive bays but I guess that the type of fans needed is pressure?
4. Also, since I will need almost 10 fans, I am wondering if there is something similar in quality to noctua but more affordable?
Thanks in advance for any information...
