It has a single 80mm fan for the disks that runs at 1800rpm mostly, which is quieter than the total from the four Samsung+Seagate hard drives I've got in it. But it's GigE so it lives in the cellar next to the GigE switch and the UPS rather than anywhere that it might annoy me. It's noisier than a Mini, but quieter and lower power than a Mini plus four external drives.

So not one for the living room. Cheers, Chris
