An easy upgrade for everyone

I added four small felt feet to the bottom of my NAS to help with airflow / cooling. On average I've noticed that the HDDs (x4) and m.2 drives (x2) are each 2 degrees C cooler. My temps were always reporting as "normal", but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Not scientific, but since I did it a week ago it's been consistently cooler. Definitely not a huge drop, but 2 degrees over the long run it will only help with drive lifespan.

Hope this 25 cent upgrade helps others.
