CyberPower - 650VA Battery Back-Up System - Black

I have never had this product before, but now it has given me an extra layer of confidence and peace of mind with my computer safety. It's working well so far to keep several lower-powered devices (NAS, router, and ISP modem) online and to allow an NAS to gracefully shut down when utility power is lost. While one can plug desktops and other high-power consumption devices into this UPS, they may not stay powered by the battery for long. The outlets are spaced slightly more apart than those in more expensive and capable UPS tower devices. However, for some, the orientation of the plugs themselves may require using larger plugs or wall warts on the top or bottom outlet. The solution, which I assume others do with other UPS units, is to buy very short extension cables that allow one to use larger wall warts. Battery IS user-replaceable. The USB outlets ARE powered by the unit's battery when utility power is cut off. The Synology DSM program will properly utilize this device when a USB cable is connected from the UPS's USB data port on the side of the unit to the Synology NAS's USB port. It networks all my devices, and I shall have to get another. Thanks.

Its important to understand that these lower end consumer UPS units are not designed to keep your equipment powered for hours at a time. They are designed for keeping equipment powered during short power outages and or allow one to gracefully shut down the computer or other device connected to the battery backup outlets. And it should be noted that most consumer level UPS units do not recommend connecting high power consumption devices like printers or microwaves to them.

I have had quite a few backup systems over the years, but this has the best combination of outlets and stats in its price range. It had an opportunity to prove itself a couple of weeks ago when the power went out. I was able to finish up my work on the computer (iMac) and save with no issues. Here's a little tip for all backup blocks where space for various large plugs and bricks cannot find a home: I bought a six pack of cord extensions for cheap. They are basically a six inch long extension cord that gives you just enough length to allow you to use just about any size brick with no problem. Just search around for them. The photo shows the unit as part of my cable management system.

Really handful and compact, no issues so far, i have to take care of my equipments because of the hurricane season.

As described, reliable back up. Good price, practical and compact.
