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

Last Updated 8 years ago

There are four fan speed modes available on your Synology NAS. You can choose the one you prefer at:

Control Panel >Hardware & Power > General > Fan Speed Mode.

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