All:
I'm replacing the fans in a dual 8" drive case. The case has two
distinct sections - the drive side and the power supply side - each with a
fan. On the power supply side, air is being pulled through the case and out
the back through a filter. On the drive side, the fan is the blowing in,
with no filter. The cover does not have any ventilation holes. It appears
that the fan on the power supply side is original but the other one was
installed later (based on the wiring and the model of fan).
Should the orientation of the fan on the drive side be changed?
I would think that cool air (although unfiltered) should be pulled through
the front of the drives and out the back.
Thoughts?
