I just received an email from Digi-Key about the fan I purchased awhile back and installed in my MLord dock. Evidently it is going out of production, and they are recommending a substitute. Please see the link below...

Yeah, I got the same email. The replacement has double the airflow, and will therefore be noisier at full speed. But the docks use resistors to slow down the fan, so it's just a question of whether the replacements can be slowed down sufficiently to be quiet.

Not that this affects anyone with a dock already, unless replacing a worn fan.

I have five docks in (slow..) progress here, and the fans for them are the original style.
