At least I have a place to start looking.
Thanks!
Sorry for late reply for some reason I wasn't notified.
If you have only 1 hard drive than you can do it but if 2 i think you will struggle space wise, this is if you have 3.5 inch drives. Splicing will save on space due to multiple connectors requirement, yellow is 12volt, read is 5 volt, black is ground (i would use one closer to yellow).
Below are the connectors you could use i think.

Just read your post one more time and looked at pictures of nas case and i think you will not have problems fitting connectors/excess wiring in space below hard drives where you mount 2.5 hdds.
