Thanks.
Yes, my ReadyNAS Duo is a v1 - that's the one you mean, right?
So if I've understood the setup - the UPS will be connected via usb to the ReadyNAS Pro, and then that is connected to the network.
And then the ReadyNAS Duo which is also connected to the network can be configured to monitor the UPS over the network.

That particular CyberPower UPS you mentioned is a bit more pricy than I was hoping for - currently £185 on Amazon UK. For that price I could get a really decent APC as well. But it does look powerful - 810 Watt / 1350 VA - so I presume one of those is more than enough for what I would need and probably a lot more? I really don't understand what the actual requirements are for these ReadyNAS devices.
