I now have a monstrous power supply sitting outside the NAS but that's OK and the cable connector fit though the cutout for the power connector of the previous inbult power supply. It's whisper quiet and and will run much cooler!
Thanks Again

It's actually better and easier to use a 20/24 pin extension. Then you have two extra 12V wires from the 4-pin section removed from the NAS end to go in in place of the pins you removed. If you plan to continue to operate that way, you might want to get a new extender and wire that way. Also, for extended use, seal the area around where the cable comes in so the chassis fan doesn't draw air in through there, reducing air flow around the drives.

Great tip. I sealed up the area with duct tape and my operating temp has indeed dropped several degrees. Muchas Gracias.
