https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/5f5e6fb6-123f-4c74-9f4a-f409b6ff592f My Storinator server from 45Drives is great, except for 1 thing. It's a little loud for my home. It would be fine if it were in a data center or a real network closet, however this is in my basement. I decided to swap out all the fans to make it quieter, and install RGB fans along with a ZigBee controller so I can control them with Home Automation!
