Buffalo LinkStation fan noise #

Despite Buffalo's claim to the contrary, some LinkStation fans are LOUD. Thankfully, they can be replaced with standard 40mmx10mm 12V fans (though a little soldering is involved). For detailed take apart guides, see: Disassembling the Buffalo LinkStation (which is hosted on a LinkStation!) and How to take apart a Linkstation. Of course, opening your LinkStation will void the warranty, and may prove lethal, so proceed at your own risk.
