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...

I've got an apc ups 550 I bought on sale at best buy. Even with a number of other things it gives me 13 minutes. I've had power outages and this was plenty. I do have better UPS's in my house for other things (AVR in particular for AV equipment), but for this system the cheaper unit has worked great. Only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't have enough sideways plugs. The darn external USB drives I backup to all have large transformer style plugs.
