Dust in the Wind

My Synology NAS sits on my desk and the fans have been spinning up to high speed noticeably often in the last week or so. I tried brushing some of the dust away, but the problem didn't go with it, so today it was time to power down the NAS and clean it out.

I removed all of the hard drives and then wiped and blew the interior dust away. (Achoo!) Then I reassembled everything and powered it up.

So far, so good, but we'll see how it behaves when there's a bit more load.
