Got this for a ReadyNAS Duo, and it's made it virtually silent, easily quiet enough to go in my lounge.

As always, objective sound levels measurements are misleading. At full whack, this thing won't make your ears bleed, but it is not exactly quiet either. The only way we can achieve the close to silence experience is by reducing the rotational speed and for that a fan controller of some sort will be required. Nevertheless is difficult to achieve a precise control of speed with this fan. When set at 5v it still spins at about 1000 rpm which is higher that I can achieve with other fans. Crucially, however, at this minimum level it is definitely silent and still manages to push a considerable amount of air. As for the rubber mounts, they are a bit of a pain since you require a special thin screwdriver or similar tool in order to force them through the mounts on the fan chassis and they break rather easily. Also the item you get does not match the one pictured on the website. The ones I received have their chassis closed and not open. So a happy customer at the end with some reservations.
