ReadyNAS 626x Internal SATA port is no longer working
Hi, After a good long run, I think my 626X finally giving way. Last year, I had to change the RAM, and this week one of the SATA slots (Internal 1) stopped working. I was routinely getting "v...

Of course. However, I can't be sure this will not spread to other slots. Over time I could have a 4 drive and 3 drive enclosure and so on.
(Btw, using eSATA I was able to add more ports, but they are really slow compared to native ones, so that is not a good solution either).
The power supply is a standard Flex ATX form factor with a modified pin-out. The 20-pin ATX connector is modified in the same was as other ReadyNAS. But you also need the 4-pin 12V CPU connection, and I don't know of any pre-modified supply that has that.
If you purchase one with a 20+4 connector, you can remove the two 12V wires to the +4 section and insert them in place of the -5V and -12V ones on the 20-pin section. Or, you can buy a 20+4 extender and make the mod there. If removing the pins is difficult for you, cutting and soldering the wires will also work (properly insulating the splices, of course).

FWIW, I didn't think they'd modified the pinout for OS-6 NAS. Are you sure about that?

Yes, I have one from a 528 in my hand right now.
