Getting the hang of it
Has anyone ever tried this?
I already have that. But the humming still annoys me --- to be precise, it's the 'hollow' or 'echo' effect that goes with it that bothers me a lot. I'm beginning to suspect that the NVR casing has a lot to do with this. Will try foaming the screw mounts first then putting sound deadening tape on the metal casing and see if this will cure it.buy purples, they 5400rpm.. you wont hear em unless u use it as a pillow
...or I could just unplug the fan from the board and settle with passive cooling...or better yet...get me one of those 6' shielded sata3/power cables and hide the drive inside a hollow drywall.The fans in the NVR's are usually louder than any hard-drives. If my NVr was driving me nuts I would just move it.
Yes, I'm aware of all of that.I'd figure that you'd hear more noise the clicking of the read/write heads than you would of the actual platters spinning. Isn't continuous recording going to wear out the circuitry of SSDs a bit faster than normal usage? I haven't kept up on SSDs too much, and I remember they have a limited read and write lifetime, that they were working on improving.
I knew you'd say this, Nayr. I think this is the 2nd time I've heard this from you lol. Do you think it's feasible if I hang the NVR inside a drywall cavity (between wall studs faceplate up and rear facing down)? Will that be a suitable position for the hard drive? Of course, I'll make a door-like cutout on the drywall for this. What do you think?this is one reason why I suggest external PoE; so you can put the NVR some place away from your wiring point.. you can hide the NVR some place it wont be heard, or most importantly.. found.
150º!!?...that's about the average temperature in our attic come summertime.you need to allow air to circulate, at least through natural convection.. meaning some place up high in the void for warm air to escape, and some place down low in the void for cool air to replace it.
if you just seal electronics off in a closed space, you'll get thermal runaway.. my LPR camera was hitting 150 degrees inside with IR off; then I drilled a few holes and remove the PoE splitter so it had less heat and more airspace.. now I never see more than 105F in the middle of the summer w/IR on.
