Hi everybody,
I own a Drobo (2nd generation, I think). The fan is VERY loud when it kicks in so that I was wondering if I should mabye try to disconnect the fan completely. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not stupid and know that the fan is in there for a reason. I wanna ask nevertheless: Would you dare this experiment, or will it simply get too hot with 4 drives? My single-external drives always worked without any fan just fine, but 4 of them in this thing could be a different thing ... I honestly don't know the risk, therefore I ask. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
