which UPS to buy?
Hi I have a ReadyNAS Duo with 2 x 2TB Seagate barracudas. I am interested in adding UPS as I've had a few outages for various reasons, I am just looking for a low cost option that will add another...

You do this by connecting the Duo to regular power, but also connecting the USB cable to the UPS. Then connect something else (perhaps a lighting fixture) into the UPS , and and finally unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. When the UPS battery runs down, the Duo should shut down. If it doesn't for some reason, there is no harm done since the Duo is still running off the main power.
I'd not seen this trick before. Very simple, very safe, very nice!
