ReadyNAS 314 - Recommended UPS?
Hi I have a ReadyNAS 314 in the post, and am thinking about a UPS as well. Can anyone recommend any UPS which this ReadyNAS model supports? I would prefer an APC model (as have used them before)....
If you want to protect other stuff, I'd suggest getting a higher capacity UPS.
I protect a desktop PC chassis (but not the monitors) as well as my NAS. However, the desktop PC is in sleep mode when I'm not actively using it, so it has no real impact on the UPS run time. The idea is that the PC won't shut down over short outages.
The PC is not monitoring the UPS, so if the UPS battery runs down it will not shut down cleanly. I don't have many long outages, so that is not a big concern.
I wouldn't either, unless the UPS had a bigger battery. I'd connect the monitors to a surge protector instead (most UPS have surge protected outlets that are separate from the ones that maintain power).
