The next version of the ReadyNAS firmware is in beta and being community 
tested.  Some of the features in this update will address issues of 
noise and power consumption.  It looks like there will be a disc 
spin-down feature that may get power consumption down to 35w when idle.

No. The NV is designed as a RAID server so the disks spin 24/7 and so do
the fans. The Qnap TS-101 disk does stop (no fan) when not being used.


Not currently anyway.  The NV has upgradeable firmware, and the request 
has been made and acknowledged for a disc spin-down feature.


AFAIK, no promises or ETA.
