You can connect a UPS to the NAS. A UPS with a USB port can be send monitoring alerts over the USB cable (must be USB, serial-to-USB will not work) to safely shutdown a NAS in the event of a power failure. Of course the power cable for the NAS must be connected to the UPS too. Most APC units are compatible provided they have a USB port. The NAS doesn't need much time to shutdown.
You can even share a UPS across your network with other ReadyNAS units or even client machines (Using the ReadyNAS to create a Network UPS for PCs). Of course the power for the NAS units/client machines and for the router/switch would also need to be connected to the UPS for this to work.
