Qnap TS-453Be comes with a much bigger fan. And bigger means less noise. I have never complained about fan noise. Usually drives generate more noise than NAS itself. By the way, you can configure fan speed inside the QTS settings. This might be something useful for you.Your choice of WD Red drives will ensure you get the quietest drives there are. You could go for SSD, but that will cost.Qnap 453dx is their "silent" model. But again, I think 453Be will be a quieter option compared to your existing NAS.I hope this helps.
