Can the USB Ports be Daisy chained to monitor multiple units from 1 UPS?
I have multiple Ready Nas units of various ages, they all have dual USB on the back. I have one very large UPS which theey are all plugged into.
Can I take the UPS-USB out and connect it to 3 Ready Nas Units via daisy chaining thru the dual ports?

You can connect the UPS via USB to one NAS and share it over your network. Obviously the router/switch and NAS units would need to all have their power supplies plugged into the UPS.
No you cannot daisy chain using USB. The NAS is not a USB peripheral. The USB ports are for connecting USB peripherals to the NAS.
