is 585 VA too small?
I just picked up a CP1500LCD with the intention to use it for the readynas but second thought, I only need the NAS to safely shutdown when the power goes out and come back on when power is restored.
I have an older CP585LCD that I'm using for other equipment but since the readynas is going to be the only thing attached to which ever UPS. I'm thinking move the 585 in the closet with the readynas and use the 1500 for my other equipment where I have multiple devices connected to.

- What model ReadyNAS are you planning on connecting to the UPS?
- The 4200 v2
- Well I think you would need a NAS that can provide a fair bit of power for that NAS. You need also to remember that you shouldn't load a UPS over ~80% of its maximum load otherwise the battery may need to be replaced sooner than otherwise as draining it fast shortens its life.
- good point, I'll put my meter to the 4200 to see how many watts it draws. running at full load and take it from there. I also have a 1000VA that I can juggle with as well. :)
