I've got a USB enclosure for five 3.5" drives, but not only is the fan very loud, it also cools idle drives down to under 30°C, which according to data floating around the Internet increases chances for drive failure.
Is it possible to turn this fan off and on? Then I could write a script to keep drives in a safe range of temperatures.
More details on the enclosure:
* 9558U3 from Orico
* USB3.0, JBOD
* IEC (power) connector
