1Acoustics tests performed 1m from the front of Drobo S with five 1TB Western Digital HDDs. Drobo S has a smart, five-speed fan governed by multiple internal
temperature sensors that will normally be off or operate on its lowest setting. The fan is programmed to minimize noise, but never at the expense of disk
integrity. The fan can switch to higher speeds if necessary in in hot operating environments or during strenuous usage to protect drives from overheating up to 38.1dB.
