UPS for ReadyNAS 6 + ReadyNAS Duo

I haven't used an APC, though there are many here who do. I've used two CyberPower CP1350AVRLCD UPS for a year or so, and have been happy with them.
If you are running ultra/pro or the older sparc V1 products, the NAS can be set to monitor the UPS state over the network (from the other NAS, or from some other device that runs the NUT package). I've done this with one UPS, which is connected to my two backup ReadyNAS. Last time I checked, this feature was not available for the V2.
If you use this configuration, you need to make sure your switch is also protected by the UPS, since you need to keep the network connection alive when the main power fails.
