ReadyNAS Pro 6 – need new UPS - a little irked at NetGear
Forum,
I am a little disappointed in NetGear in that they have a HCL, but the UPS products don’t list the actual model numbers. Geez Louise I just want about 700-1000 VA to run one 3 Disk ReadyNAS Pro 6 (with auto-shutdown AS ADVERTISED), one Dell tower PC and one 8 port Netgear gigabit switch. Not a tall order! I find it totally inadequate in an Enterprise support environment that Ready NAS Pro line is attempting to compete in. How about some current UPS model testing? NetGear does this for hard disks! I do really love this line of products. There is nothing like them in the market. I manage two of them in remote locations with great success – they replicate each other for backup and I do run an ~weekly, occasional USB disk backup that is rotated out. I am not new to Enterprise level support as I am the I.T. Manager for a small business with 2 hour mission critical support on Dell PowerEdge and EqualLogic arrays in multiple locations.
I need to replace my old UPS now and when I look at the HCL to figure out what they actually are, I see old models. Most have been discontinued if I look around to buy one that’s ON THE HCL. The HCL also seems to be forum-driven as a few models are “reported to be compatible”. I do feel the APC Backup-UPS Pro line is the way to go because I want a line-interactive with AVR. I found the 700 VA model (BR700G) on Amazon for around 100 bucks. The HCL web page has mostly APC (that’s the brand I want) but I have to frikin search the frisking web to find the actual part no. Sorry you had to hear this little rant. I have money and need a UPS that will shut down the ReadyNAS Pro 6 via USB and has AVR … anyone have any advice?
Here is the UPS I am looking at:

- Netgear can't keep up on hardware disk testing either.
My advice (which you are perhaps already following): Ignore the HCL and simply search the forum for the model you are considering. If you don't find anything, then ask about it.
