Default Re: Snap 2000....and lots of questions.

The 2000 uses a odd size 52x52x15mm fans. 50x50x15mm will work with a slight mod, elongate 2 holes. The original kd1205phb3 is very quite at 8.5 cfm. 4300rpm. I just moved up to the medium speed trying to keep it quite. In most cases it doesn't take much. The Initial format and raid build will generate the most heat. So you could leave it open and use a external fan if you like, for this stage.

If you are at the 3.4.805 it will handle large drives without any difficulty. The limiting factor for most units are the power supplies and OS. The snap os has a limit of ~1.2T. This varies with drive mfg, # of sectors.
