Thank you for sharing all the details.

I am disappointed too swapping in other fans does not help.

I really thought this could be a valid solution

Another thing that came into my mind was the smartmontools tools service that was continuously checking the drives in my system preventing them from going into sleep mode. A workaround could be do disable the smartmontools service and check the drive only once a day with a cronjob, which was enough ...

Some filesystems in Unix / Linux do some internal checks and journaling that might take some time, especially on larger drives when they are formatted for the first time. I do not know if that is the case on your system? Just wait a few days for the drive to finish if the filesystem is just created....

Hi, these fans seem to be compatible most likely by the pin layout but not by the connector. I will order some fans the next week's and will use my multimeter to check the pins. I think it is needed to build an adapter or solder a new connector to the noctua fans to make them work. You can use a sol...

This is my favorite fan with has even lower power consumption with 0,08a only:

Noctua NF-A8 PWM

The downside is they are a bit expensive I think...

Are theses white factory fan connectors maybe those?

JST XH 4Pin 2.54mm

I just noticed the power seems quite low with 0.14a.

I wonder if all these aftermarket fans do run at around 0.14a only?

Hey everyone, here are some snapshots from the enclosure internals. The two fans have a white 4 pin connector with a latch that secures the connector. Anothers picture shows the fans that are used by the manufacturer. Can you guys suggest a very silent fan that might fit in here? If the connector do...

On linux there is a package called hdparm to manage energy management and spindown better on USB hard drives with works pretty well. Since the Mac OS is based on unix I am pretty sure there are similar (homebrew) project to setup power management like this too. Sorry I can not give better examples f...
