CyberPower for 653a
Hello,
I'm looking for an UPS for my QNAP 653a and I my eye landed on the CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD, however, checking the compatibility list I only found the CP1500PFCLCD. There is basically an "E" of difference, should it be an issue or are we talking about the same product?
Regards

I'm unable to find any mention of a CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD (even on CyberPower's website). Do you have a link?Sgt Hartman wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:28 am I'm looking for an UPS for my QNAP 653a and I my eye landed on the CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD, however, checking the compatibility list I only found the CP1500PFCLCD.

Hi, ehm I just have an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.it/CyberPower-CP1500 ... way&sr=8-1OneCD wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:39 am I'm unable to find any mention of a Cyberpower CP1500EPFCLCD (even on Cyberpower's website). Do you have a link?

My only guess is that the "E" refers to an European standard...

Could be... or Amazon just messed-up. Generally speaking, marketing people are not known for their attention to detail.Sgt Hartman wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:41 am My only guess is that the "E" refers to an European standard...

Ah, also found it for sale here in Australia (with the same voltage specs): https://www.umart.com.au/CyberPower-PFC ... 0825G.html
So, the E does exist, but looks like it's the 240VAC version.
Personally, I think 1500VA is perfect - but it really depends on how much stuff you want to keep running during a blackout. I'm an APC fan, never tried CyberPower.

Cool, so I suppose it shouldn't be a problem.OneCD wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:52 am Ah, also found it for sale here in Australia (with the same voltage specs): https://www.umart.com.au/CyberPower-PFC ... 0825G.html

Well, I currently have 4x WD Red 8 TB and 1x WD Red 10 TB in RAID 5, mainly used for storage purposes. The main function it'll be to have enough minutes to trigger a safe shutdown if power-cut is longer than 5-10 minutes, nothing else.

Re: CyberPower for 653a
Yup, 1500VA will be fine. You could also include your switch, router, room lamps, and workstation and still get 45 minutes of backup time.

Re: CyberPower for 653a
Thank you, you have been really, really, helpful. Very last thing, since you are an APC "fan" the BX1400U-GR should it be good as well? A bit cheaper than the CP...

Re: CyberPower for 653a
That one is on the hardware compatibility list for your NAS so you should be OK. The Back-UPS range are a bit less "feature-rich" than the Smart-UPS, but I've never encountered any problems with them (I started dealing with the APC brand in the late 1980's and found them in many workplaces - they've always been rock-solid.)Sgt Hartman wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 7:28 am Very last thing, since you are an APC "fan" the BX1400U-GR should it be good as well?

I finally ordered a CP 1500. Waiting for its arrival I've a question about installation. Apart for plugging in the power cable do I need to link them via USB permanently? Thanks in advance for your support!

I have that unit and have had it plugged into my NAS and it works fine. ( I have since moved to a more elaborate Inverter with 2 car batteries)OneCD wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 3:54 amCorrect.Sgt Hartman wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 12:43 am Apart for plugging in the power cable do I need to link them via USB permanently?
Note these are 900w which is still way more than most NAS need
If you have only your NAS connected too it, I think it is overkill.
From my experience most "consumer" UPS are good for 5-15 minutes after a power outage.
My NAS take 6-7 minutes to shutdown so I have it set to like 2 minutes after the blackout to start the shutdown.
Bleeding ( I cant say Bl**dy) annoying if your outage is for 5 minutes as you NAS is half way through shutting down + another 6-7 minutes to reboot.
But YES definitely get a UPS if your area is prone to blackouts.
My NAS was basically out of action for over an hour if it had an unscheduled shutdown.
Check File System wants to run after a outage and it is slow!
I am selling all these after replacing the batteries (don't ask as the shipping cost to wherever you live will be too much)
