Looking for quiet DAS or NAS that powers off / spins down when not in use

I need to find a good storage solution. The biggest factors are that it needs to be REALLY quiet, and I don't want to have to mess with turning it on or off. If it's a DAS and connected to a PC, then it should spin down and power down when the PC is off. If it's a NAS then it should go into power saving mode when not in use.

I have a WD single drive NAS that behaves like this, and it's super quiet. I'd like to find a 4+ bay unit that works similarly.

Thank you!

That is currently 2-3C cooler than my main PC.


EDIT:
I just opened the door on the little cabinet, and the temp went up 1C, and the fan speed increased 50RPM.

EDIT2: ANd now returned to the original temp of 41C.

Don't you worry about heat and ventilation having it behind a closed door?
