CRU-DataPort RTX410-XJ. Running with 4x 8Tb SAS samsung drives. Running hard or idle, seems to always end up same: power fan running excessively, and main enclosure fan running seemingly fine, but producing very low airflow out of chassi. I assume some imbalance due to power fan sucking out all the air and main fan not able to blow out air due to this. Very noisy due to power fan. Any idea what this can be, or should it be like this?

Excessive noise from the power fan and low airflow from the main enclosure fan in a CRU Dataport RTX410-3QJ with 4x 8TB SAS Samsung drives could be caused by:
1. High power consumption or heat output from the SAS drives, which may cause the power fan to run at higher speeds. 2. The main enclosure fan (75mm exhaust fan) might be obstructed, malfunctioning, or not operating at full speed, resulting in low airflow. 3. Dust buildup or poor ventilation could also reduce airflow and increase fan noise.
Check fan operation and clean any dust or obstructions. Ensure the enclosure has adequate ventilation.

Plug in the data cable and power cord. RTX can connect to your computer in one of several ways. Cables for all data connection types are included for your convenience. Plug the power adapter cable into a grounded electrical outlet. NOTE: To connect RTX410-3QJ to a USB 2.0 host, you must use a USB 2.0 cable.
3.1.3 Mounting and unmounting volumes If the hard drives installed in the product are already formatted, an icon representing the drive’s volume will appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using the volume right away. If the drive is unformatted, a message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk is unreadable.
e) If you are prompted to select a partition type, select MBR for volumes 2TB or smaller, or GPT for volumes larger than 2TB. Note: Windows XP does not support GPT or volumes larger than 2TB. f) Click through several more windows, leaving the default settings, until you see a window that allows selection of a file system.
