        It's hard to tell from your picture, but it appears you are trying to power the drives form the NAS USB ports.  You shouldn't even power one 3.5" spinning drive from it, much less two.  If I'm seeing it right, you are severely overtaxing the power subsystem of your NAS and could potentially damage it.
