(DIY with Dell OptiPlex 3020 and OpenMediaVault)
Tired of the deafening noise of the old Cenmate DAS enclosure in the hallway that could even be heard from the bedroom? In this video, I show the transition of my DIY storage system—running on a Dell OptiPlex 3020 and OpenMediaVault (OMV)—to a brand new ACASIS DAS enclosure, finally replacing that noisy setup.
I ran a real decibel sound test before and after to prove the massive drop in noise, while keeping performance completely intact and gaining the incredible bonus of SAS drive support. If you run a home server and want total silence without losing expansion capabilities, this upgrade is a must-watch.
Hardware Specs:
Server / Host: Dell OptiPlex 3020
NAS OS: OpenMediaVault (OMV)
Old DAS Enclosure: Cenmate model (very loud, hitting around 65-70 dB)
New DAS Enclosure: ACASIS Enclosure (SAS/SATA support, ultra-quiet, running around 59-60 dB)
