Let's put this issue to rest. The Seagate expansion drive (STAY2000102) that would disconnect from the NAS unit, has included with it a power management utility.

I could not find a program to turn this expansion power management utility off, so I removed the drive from its enclosure and installed it into a docking station connected to the NAS unit. This hard drive is functioning beautifully with the NAS unit.

Thanks
