What type of fan speed modes are available on my Synology NAS?

Details

There are four fan speed modes available on your Synology NAS. You can choose the one you prefer at DSM Control Panel > Hardware & Power > General > Fan Speed Mode.

  • Full-Speed Mode: Fan operates at full speed, keeping the system cooler, but emitting more noise.
  • Cool Mode: Fan operates at a higher speed, keeping your Synology NAS cooler, but emitting more noise.
  • Quiet Mode: Fan operates at a lower speed, emitting less noise, but the temperature of your Synology NAS may rise.
  • Low-Power Mode: Fan operates at a lower speed, emitting less noise, but the temperature of your Synology NAS may rise. In addition, when your Synology NAS has cooled down, the fan will stop to save power.

Notes:

    • The fan speed mode options are only available on Synology NAS products with system fans.
    • The fan speed mode options on your Synology NAS vary depending on the hardware specifications and configurations. When you install additional network interface cards, some fan speed options will be disabled to ensure optimal heat dissipation.
