Change PSU ?

Hi ! My Ultra 6 from year 2013 just died.  I suspect a faulty PSU since the power outlet fuse overloads.   Honestly, my primary goal is to have a quick look in the RAID 5 and see if there are any...

    Actually, the cables on a standard ATX supply are typically long enough to reach where they need to to use it externally.  What you may need is SATA to 4-pin MOLEX (old hard drive) connector(s), since the NAS uses three.  If you are going to do anything more than just verify the power supply is the problem, then make sure you seal up the gap where the cables come through with masking tape or similar so the air flows properly and the drives stay cool.

     

    You will need an extender for the 24-pin ATX connector if you are replacing internally with a standard SFX format supply, and may still need the MOLEX adapters.  The most recent supply I've used is a APEVIA SFX-AP400W, but those also seem to be discontinued now.  It seems that anything under 500W is becoming hard to find.  Of course, a 500W or bigger will work, they'll just cost more.
