Thanks for all the info! I've learnt a lot from this channel and it helped guide me thorugh my NAS and network purchases. On a side note though, PLEASE check your audio levels and invest in a decent microphone so people can properly hear all the great information you are providing them! 🙂 Keep up the great work!

Always love your videos and your informative teaching style. You've helped me realize that I can have some of this equipment at home. It's not as "scary" as it once was. Appreciated.

What about heat issues buying a desktop unit and slipping it into a shelf in a rack?

The 2 bay units are not NAS units they are servers and on a 2 bay unit would typically have multiple high end CPU's with options to go to insane levels of ram. They are intended for high compute environments not high storage environments. Typically used to run virtual servers on.

Also, unless you are running a rack unit at close to max you can usually re-fan them using something like Noctua fans. Under light to medium loads they can run at around 45 to 50 db (conversation level).

Thanks for taking the time to explain! I have an old NAS server (Synology RS814+), which was sitting on a small shelf on the floor over the years. I'd like to mount the server under the desk instead of on the floor, which is taking up space and making it hard to clean the dust with cables getting in the way etc. It seems that pretty much most of the mounting solution available on the market are for wall mount or require attaching to the cabinet, and not under the desk. Is there an under desk mounting solution that you can suggest otherwise I'll probably have to take the DIY route.

The crazy noise is probably meant to address issues like a huge CPU with a tone of cores being cooled by very limited amount of fins, high performance networking card not having activee cooling… etc. If your system isn't that power hungry you can probably get away with a less aggressive fan curve.

Make sure your rack is deep enough…. 😂 I just made that mistake.

Something came up while watching your video. Is there any advantage between placing the hard drive horizontal like the rack mount design and vertical like the desk top design?

I recently bought a NAS and I really did consider buying a short depth rackmount version. The ones I was looking at the price difference wasn't that huge, only like 10%, but then when I realized I'd need to order rails on top, and those would've cost another 10%, I just ended up getting a desktop one. (already was considering moving all the stuff into a cabinet, so the cabinet etc. cost didn't count into my consideration of the NAS)

It's not the chassis making a noise. It's the fans.

Hardy 42U Server Rack Benefits Video

Published

Looking for reliable server racks for your data center?

Here are 10 reasons to choose the premium perforated racks from Hardy Racks!

Number 1.
The front and back sides of the rack come with a total perforation of 86%, an excellent means to dissipate over 3.5 Kilowatts of heat while allowing the free inflow of cool air.

Number 2.
The heavy-duty metal body of the 42U rack comes with a load-bearing capacity of up to 1200 kilograms!

Number 3.
The perforated front door and the perforated, space-saving split rear doors come with a one-click removable feature – and can be fitted or removed without any tools!

Number 4.
The side panels are also detachable. They come with the provision to be kept locked when not in use. These features make the massive 42U rack easy to transport, install, and seamless to work with during maintenance!

Number 5.
The sticker-free numbering of U positions – both from the top to bottom and bottom to top – makes it really convenient for identifying rack positions for installation, troubleshooting and maintenance!

Number 6.
5 cable entries on the top and 5 cable entries at the bottom – provide you with the option to bring in your cables easily, whether you have a raised flooring or false flooring setup in your data center.

Number 7. (04:43 – 04:57)
The rack is spacious enough to handle more than one PDU, which can be mounted at the back of the server rack with the help of the vertical cable manager.

Number 8.
The insulated panes between the doors and walls of the server rack is a safety feature that prevents metal to metal friction which can cause serious damage in heat-producing environments.

Number 9.
6 points of grounding at the bottom, and 1 point of grounding at the top of the rack – an extremely important safety feature for a rack that will be filled with electrical equipment!

Number 10.
The stylish, rotary handle with an in-built lock on the front door takes up virtually no extra space and can be tucked in while not in use.

From toughened body to user-friendly features and all safety amenities required for smooth operations – we have thought of everything!

But don’t just take our word for it!

All our server racks are CE certified – which is the seal of trust that indicates that our products conform to all requisite standards.
