All,
I've been running NSA325v2 only on demand with WOL, because I can't stand the noise. From what I've read (I don't have the V1) it is a great improvement over the V1. However, still it's just a little bit too much during the night, I can hear it from a different room (cursed with good hearing :). On a whim, I took the front panel door off, and now I can barely hear it in the same room :) So it is not really the fan noise, it is a resonance from the enclosure, indirectly caused by the fan spinning.
Any idea other than taking the front panel off permanently or drilling holes on the front panel (I would)? Is there anything else that could make the resonance go away? using a mouse pad underneath did not make much difference.
