    Where were you less than 4 weeks ago when I had to buy 2 UPS's?

    These are a steal with the free shipping!

  • frysie on 22/08/2014 - 15:17

    which is the best for a nas drive and a tv? they all look good.. unsure about the voltage

      UPS aren't meant to run TVs. They are designed to power a PC for 5-10 minutes only. Enough time to shutdown safely.

      As for the NAS, depending on the number of drives, you might get anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.

      Eg the $85 600VA model specs:
      Backup/Run Time (Full Load): 1 Minute
      Backup/Run Time (Half Load): 9 Minute
      Brand Name: CyberPower
      Form Factor: Tower
      Load Capacity (VA): 600 VA
      Load Capacity (Watt): 360 W
      Product Family: Value
      Product Type: Line-interactive UPS
      Receptacles: 2 x AS/NZS 3112

      So if you draw 360w, it'll only last 1 minute. At 180w, it'll last 9 minutes. If your NAS uses say 90w, then you might get 20-30 minutes.

      A 50" plasma TV by itself would probably only last ~1 minute at best. If you want to run a TV during a blackout, you'd need a generator and a UPS (to smooth out the power, and run until you get the genny going).

      Not sure using this on TV would be beneficial ad they are designed to allow the user to shut down any hardware when a blackout occurs.

      I bought my 2 UPS (APC 550VA) for two NAS boxes. I actually wanted a CyberPower 600 or 800VA (generally more bang for the buck) but couldn't get one for a reasonable price.

      APC is arguably the better brand but in this entry point segment they're probably all coming out of the same Chinese factory anyway. What's more important is checking if your NAS supports the UPS. I have Synology NAS's and there is both an "official" and "users" page on what works (and doesn't work). For Synology I think 100% of APC UPS's work, and these two entry level CyberPower's worked on my models too.

      ^ By support I mean, can communicate to the UPS in times of power outage to safely power down the NAS prior to battery running dead. If it can't do that then it's kinda the same as not having one at all, assuming you're not home when power goes out.

        i love armchair experts…

        UPS aren't meant to run TVs.

        what if OP lives in a place with constant brownouts or voltage spikes? maybe they have had tv's blown up before from this. back when i was working in IT we used to deal with this issue a bit with out of town folk and the best solution was usually to stick a ups on the system to smooth out the dodgy power coming into the house.

        certainly most blackouts i get here are only for a matter of a few seconds to maybe a minute or 2. in the last 15 years i think there has only ever been once that the power has gone out for more than a ups would last for so putting one on a NAS that cant communicate with the UPS is still a good idea.

          i love armchair experts…

          I don't, especially not the facetious ones.

          A UPS isn't meant to run a TV, it can regulate the power to a TV but that's not what it's designed for. There have been some useful responses to someone who's unsure what voltage UPS is best for a TV, yours isn't one of them.

          Dammit…I've done it again!! Gotta stop feeding the trolls

          A UPS isn't meant to run a TV

          have you ever looked at a ups in person? ever noticed theres more than one "hole" in the back for things to be plugged into? ever noticed that some of those "holes" are protected/backed up and some are only "protected"…….. i wonder why they DESIGNED ups's like that? hmm let me think…. maybe to plug "computer monitors" into?

          oh wow, its a revelation… they did in fact design ups's to plug "tv" into…..

          next armchair expert please…

      @frysie

      Without knowing your requirement it's difficult for anyone to give advice. Do you have a lot of power outages or are you just concerned about spikes, surges, brown outs etc? Chris and Click_It have given some useful info that should get you started.

      If you want to watch TV in a power outage none of these will be much good.

      Is your NAS just a single drive or more like a Synology? If it's just a single drive then a UPS won't be much use unless you have frequent short outages.

      If you're just worried about your NAS and TV being damaged then a UPS can protect them but it's kinda overkill unless you're already experiencing problems with your equipment.

      Info given on OzB can be a good place to start but don't rely on it for buying gear like this.

  • ethanol on 22/08/2014 - 15:28

    Are Cyberpower any good?

    What can an 600VA or 800VA UPS support (thinking of getting one for my Home Server running 8 internal drives) to allow it to power down gracefully?

    Something like this 800VA is $59 (pick-up) : http://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id…

    • Click_It on 22/08/2014 - 19:33

      CyberPower are no APC but they're pretty good. Quite a few guys on Whirlpool forums like the brand. Star Power, stay away from that junk IMO.

      I did some research when I was buying some and CyberPower came up pretty good, I just couldn't source either of the two models when I needed them.

      Incidently I purchased from Umart too. But this deal is better given the free shipping (UPS's weigh a lot so shipping costs a lot)

  • Innocence on 22/08/2014 - 15:30

    Hi Rep - are all of these compatible with the range of synology NAS? (for auto shut down). Thanks.

    • Click_It on 22/08/2014 - 19:37

      http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/User_Reported_Compa…

      Some are, and more feedback from Whirlpool suggests models not listed are also supported, though if you want to be absolutely safe then APC might be the brand to get.

    • Nousernamehere on 22/08/2014 - 21:17

      I have the CyberPower Value SOHO Series 600VA with my HP N54L running XPEnology.

      Currently downloading off Usenet on it, so all the 5 disk's are spun up, and it's powering my Fritz 7270 as well as a 8 port GB switch, and it is giving me estimated battery like of 1920 seconds (32 mins).

      Have actually been pretty impressed by it, although luckily I don't think I've actually had a power outage since I bought it a few months back.

  • petestrash on 22/08/2014 - 15:32

    Are these fresh stock?

    • Store Repevnmhr @ Cetnaj Lighting ~ Electrical ~ Data on 25/08/2014 - 14:55

    CyberPower BRIC LCD Series 1000VA Line Interactive Powerboard Style UPS - $169

    hmmm

    NAS (45w <—- cpu) + 4x 3TB HDD)
    laptop (30w cpu)
    1-2 (2-3 TB USB HDD)

    so that is easily 4 ports…

    so it seems the CyberPower BRIC LCD Series 1000VA Line Interactive Powerboard Style UPS - $169 is ideal as it has 6 ports… I gather its not wise to have a powerboard

    also is this synology friendly ? with auto-shutdown ?

    • Chris McMahon on 22/08/2014 - 15:53

      Just make sure you have enough ports that are battery backed. Some multi-ported UPS only have battery backup on 1-2 ports and the rest are just line filtered.

      I haven't heard anything about not running a powerboard off a UPS. I don't see how it could be an issue, so long as you keep the total wattage within reason.

      My suggestion is to buy a power meter from Jaycar for ~$20. Plug everything you want to run into a powerboard, then into the meter. You then know what the total wattage you need is. Then you can make an informed decision as to what battery capacity and time you want backup for.

      BTW don't forget to measure the startup peak as PCs and especially NAS can draw a lot more power during startup vs post-startup.

      As for whether a UPS will work with your particular NAS, the best place to go for an answer is the NAS manufacturer's support/forum.

      • Cluster on 22/08/2014 - 16:11

        BTW, those $20 power meters from Jaycar are extremely inaccurate for electronic devices. The power meter will only give accurate readings for devices that have a Power Factor of 1. Heaters, kettles, etc.

        For about the same price look for Steplight power factor compensated power meters on eBay.

    I can see your one is a different model from the CyberPower UPS at Arc Computers, but it's also considerably more expensive.

    What's better about this one?

  • dolphinlee on 22/08/2014 - 18:25

    according to staticice, the cheapest price is $145.86 from warehouse1
