Cooling Performance
Customers are overwhelmingly positive about the cooling performance of Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 fans. They report significant temperature drops and near silence, making them a popular choice for upgrading computers and NAS devices. Some users have noted that they experience similar cooling performance to stock fans when run in quiet mode.
Quiet Operation
Customers highly praise the quiet operation of the Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 fan, describing it as nearly silent and easy to install. Some have noted that they did not use additional noise reduction methods such as resistors or mounts.
Fan Blade Design
Customers generally praise the fan blade design of Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600, but some express concerns about compatibility with certain systems, particularly Dell Dimension models, which may require voltage adjustments for proper operation.

Competitiveness
It's a shame that synology don't have a deal with noctua and fit these as stock fans in their synology range.
