An APC for five devices?
I have an old ReadyNAS NV+, Pro BE, Gigibit switch, router and Modem all in one room. The two NAS have there own APC UPS unit one of them needs replaced. What I would like to do is buy a big APC unit...

You can connect the UPS USB port to one NAS, and have the others remotely monitor it (over the network). You do need to connect the NAS to the same switch/router, and protect that switch with the UPS also. I have 3 ReadyNAS protected by one UPS using this approach, and it works fine.
My UPS (Cyberlink) all have several protected power-outlets - you might not need a power strip.
I don't happen to use APC, so I have no recommendation on the model.
