I don't know; but swap out the fan for a quiet one. Also drop in Seagate Barracuda drives; they rule!
 
Yes it can be extended. I've used one about that long and had no problems.
 
I have connections all over the studio for moving the remote.
I use two conductor wiring (TR).
Works like a champ.

thanks, alesis just got to my email and confirmed it could be extended.they should have put it in the manual?the reason I asked was i figured maybe the lrc is resistance sensitive other wise how does it know a stop command from all the other options by using just 2 wires????????????
 
I have been successful extending it using a TRS cable as well. As for the noise, if there was one great thing to do - it would be to solder in a quieter fan. With the new fan, and a quiet HD, you can track in the same room nearby.
 
where did ya find a replacement fan at?what's the model #?what type of hard drives have you had success with?
 
I haven't open up my alesis .but does that fan fit with out any mod's to the mounts or the plug/jack.will the plug match up and only fit correctly matching polaritys??????????thanks

The fan fits without mods, make sure you get the 80mm one.
The plug doesn't fit, but I only tried the one with 4 pins. I just cut the wires and spliced them together. You could try the smaller 3 pin version.

It's quiet, I can't hear the fan at all.
 
thanks for the info.I'm gonna open 'er up and check the spec's on the stock fan
 
Both 3 and 4 pin fans will not fit into the power socket in the HD24. As mentioned, you simply cut off the old fan, strip the wires and solder them together. I then melted heatshrink over the connection. It wasnt a hard job in the least and the difference is very noticable.

As for harddrives - I personally like Seagates as they are quiet and come with a 5 yr warranty.
