S1000HD FanNoise

2018-01-13 by nils.stockman@...


Hi all,

got my sticky fingers on a S1000HD recently. It works great, only problem is the noise from the fan on the rear. Its really loud and basically renders the machine useless in a studio environment. I guess I could build a shed for the S1000HD, but a easier solution would maybe be to remove the fan altogether?


My question is; is the fan there to cool the hard drive specifically, and would removing the drive make it possible to remove the fan also without the S1000HD overheating?


Also, anyone have experience replacing the fan with a newer, quieter model?
