Fan Noise

[mbriddle]

I bought a new LS-Pro 2TB and the fan runs constantly. Is this normal? It's loud and annoying.

Be glad it's running. I came to the forum today because I was looking into one of my Drivestation Duos, and as I pulled one of the disks out I almost burnt my hand. So am hoping there is some way to increase the fan speed because I'd rather have a little more noise than burn my disks out.

 

That said, have you powered off your unit and double-checked the fan to see if there may be something loose?

I've tried powering it on and off with no change.I've emailed Buffalo twice but no response yet. I am just not sure if it is normal for the fan to run constantly. I thought it only came on when the unit got hot. For now i have it burried in a cabinet because i can't stand the noise.

the will always run, if you find that it is loud you can easily remove it and clear it of dust or obstructions.

Better to run that not to run in this case.
