UPS recommendation for two NAS's: Pro Pioneer 6 and RN316
Hello, I have two units in the same area for my home office: ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer 6 running 4.2.27 ReadyNAS RN316 running 6.2.4 I need a new UPS and am wondering the best choice. I am wonderin...
I'm OK with getting two separate UPSs, one each for my two NASs.
Three Questions:
(1) Are there some that are reputedly better for lightning surge suppression?
(2) Do I want to get a pure sine output UPS? I see that some are simulated sine, some are stepped approximation, etc.
(3) Can some be programmed to shut themselves off after the NAS is gracefully powered down? I'm thinking that doing this will save on battery life, but correct me if this is wrong.
StephenB, you use the CP1500AVRLCD, but there's the pure-sine wave CP1500PFCLCD. Yes it's more money but still quite affordable and if it avoids problems then the money isn't a huge difference or factor. I'd probably more concerned with the amount of time and burnt brain cells getting these set up.
Thanks!
