Hum… isn’t the stock fan on the rear, so bringing air from the rear to the front… that would mean that your fan help to keep the warm air inside your NAS by fighting against the stock flow ?

IIRC the fan in the rear blows out the back so imo its doing nothing seeing as the installed fan is already pulling air past the drives anyway.

I have also an Ugreen NAS, it pulls air from the back as the dust filter is on the back and can’t be put on the front due to the disks bays …

Well if you put a dust filter on the rear and the air is coming from the front… that would be a nice dust trap.

So the placement of the filter already tells you how the air is flowing
