NAS temperature (Too high) - Enquiries - 01-17-2023
Is there a limit of length of cables between the NAS and TV's or Laptop/computer, where length MAYBE will lower the throughput between the units? And if storing the NAS in an enclosed drawer/cabinet where maybe the heat can't get away easier, can that temperature be to high for the NAS so you'll have to install a fan to extract the heat from that cabinet?
RE: NAS temperature (Too high) - ed - 01-20-2023
The length of the cable between a NAS and a TV or computer can affect the throughput between the units, as longer cables can introduce signal loss and interference. The exact length at which this becomes a problem can depend on the type of cable being used (e.g. Ethernet or HDMI) and the signal quality of the devices.
Storing a NAS in an enclosed cabinet or drawer can also affect its performance, as the lack of airflow can lead to overheating. This can cause the NAS to slow down or even malfunction. To prevent this, you may need to install a cooling fan or ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the cabinet/drawer to keep the temperature within safe limits.
