    Perhaps this is something I will need to change in the BIOS screen?

    Netgear doesn't provide access to the BIOS settings.

     

    A UPS makes the behavior consistent since the NAS monitors the UPS and always gracefully shuts down.

Hi zero101a, not that straight forward through the admin page to my knowledge, anybody else wants to comment?

 

However, best practice to address related issues is to have an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), which could communicate with the Nas. ACP's BackUPS700G for example (and there are many more) is very affordable and also reliable (I have 3 of them). In case of a power loss it will keep your nas running for about 30 minutes and also gracefully shut it down. So all power glitches/failures below that duration would be addressed by this approach. It also is much better for your data health, if no shutdown is forced by those events you mentioned.

Kind regards
