Hey There,
Thank you o much for the great work you do! I need advice regarding a UPS for our Sinology 1821+ with 6 drives currently installed. This unit will power only the NAS and a 10GB switch. Our editing station which use MacBooks or on separate UPS units.
Realistically looking to keep the Nasty running for 30 minutes - before shutting down.
Currently looking at the APC Performance BR1000Ms Sine Wave 1000VA -1500VA units or the MUCH more expensive SMC1500 units.
Three questions:
1) What Wattage of UPS do I need to use to power the NAS and switch for about minutes when the drives are in use?
2) I also have a fiber modem and Wifi Roueter in a separate location (120Watts max per together as or their power supply units) what UPS size would I need to keep things running for about 30 minutes there?
3) Is the cloud based Smart Connect worth the addition cost in the SMC1500 for my Synology Setup or will DSM view basic UPS status too? Thanks!
