My Cloud EX2 Ultra
(Idle Drive Temp and 0 RPM Fan Speed)







Fan RPM Speed and Drive Temp Table


IMPORTANT:
  • The table gives an example of possible, NOT guaranteed fan speed and drive temperatures under normal conditions.
  • It is for Informational Purposes Only.
  • Different capacities and data were used.
  • Cloud Access is turned on.
  • A 0 RPM fan will start spinning when the dashboard Drive Temperature reaches 56°C to 57°C.
  • Fan speeds (rpm) can be higher due to disk activity.
    The drive temp may be low.
  • Fan speeds (rpm) can be higher due to CPU, Memory, and Disk read/writes.
    This happens when Indexing, Generating previews or when third-party apps are indexing.
