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 haven't seen anything specific on models good for lightning. I suspect none of them will protect against a direct or near-direct strike. I'd expect them to handle less extreme cases, but I haven't ever experienced them.
I don't have a lot of power failures, but I have had some since I first started using Cyberpower. I haven't had any problems with the any of my equipment, including my 5 ReadyNAS. Though if you prefer a pure-sine wave UPS, then go for it.
I don't see how turning off the UPS after power down would save its battery life. I think the critical power alert that shuts down the NAS is generally 10% of capacity or less, so the battery essentially needs a full recharge anyway.
