Mobile rack solution
Has anyone tried a mobile rack solution that is reasonable quiet? I’m using a server that for functionality needs two swappable drives for backups. The problem is to find a storage solution that is reasonable quiet. At the moment it’s using two of these. http://www.raidsonic.de/en/pages/products...

dB Meter measuring under 30dB?
Hi,
I’m currently looking for a dB that measures sound levels under 30dB. I have had a good look around, but all dB meters I managed to find starts measuring at 30dB or above.
Does anyone know about any that do go down under 30dB?
Thanks,
Mikael
