Techno Tim | Customizing My Storinator from 45 Drives - Making it Quiet and Pretty @TechnoTim | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
My Storinator server from 45Drives is great, except for 1 thing. It's a little loud for my home. It would be fine if it were in a data center or a real network closet, however this is in my basement. I decided to swap out all the fans to make it quieter, and install RGB fans along with a ZigBee controller so I can control them with Home Automation!
