Cooling on DS211/DS211+ units

[ciprian.trofin]

Besides the exhaust fan, is there another fan inside Synology DS211 / DS211+ unit ?

I'm looking for a NAS, and I'd rather buy one with passive cooling on internal components (CPU mainly).

No. One fan.

Passive cooling is (was) only available for single drive NASes. My old QNAP TS-109 Pro has no fan.

Thanks, thiggins, but I am not sure I understand your answer.

1. one fan as in the 92mm fan in the back of the unit or
2. one 92mm fan in the back of the unit and another fan on CPU

?

No fan on the CPU for any Marvell NASes. Fan is case-mounted. See this DS211 board photo.
