If it's just to migrate the data, I recommend you buy an ATX power extender and just clip the -5V and -12V lines. Or, if the supply is "expendable", just clip the wires directly. Your unit will probably run fine on a standard ATX supply without the extra +12V long enough for you to extract the data. Of course, you may have already killed the -5V and -12V on that supply by mating them with +12V in the NAS.

ReadyNAS Ultra 4 PSU is modified FSP120-40LE. The pinout is different from standard ATX PSU where -12V and -5V are used for 12V.
Unless your PSU does not output -12V/-5V, a standard PSU can’t be used.
