NAS and UPS?

#1
I seem to be having some issues down the UPS rabbit hole. Having looked over my options for a NAS (I'm thinking Synology DS920+ and x4 4TB drives at this point - thanks for all your videos on helping me ponder that one!) I seem to be having difficulty pinning down a good price/performance UPS with the right connectivity. My system parts of concern for the UPS would be the PC (Ryzen 1600/EVGA GTX1070 level), the NAS, one of my two monitors and my router. I've opted for your recommendation of APC and with an eye on budget was looking to the APC BX-1400U-MS - principally opting for this over my first choice of BX-1400UI which only seems to have IEC kettle connectors, where the former seems to have a combo of IEC and universal (I assume these are regular 3-pin looking at the pics?) which I would need for the router since it has an adaptor and no physical ability to be connected with an IEC, where annoyingly the rest of the hardware does. Would you say this model is a good choice? If so, do you have any leads on where to buy the damn thing? If not, what might you recommend given that I don't want to pay an arm and a leg (even being aware that this generally seems to be the way with UPS's)?

If you want a UPS which will safely shut down your NAS when it tuns out of power, then you need to look at smart models.Here are a few articles with compatible models mentioned :https://nascompares.com/cheapest-ups-for-synology-qnap-nashttps://nascompares.com/2018/04/06/synology-with-a-smart-ups-connect-manage-shut-downhttps://nascompares.com/ups-battery-for-ds918-20-minutes-3-hourshttps://nascompares.com/answer/smart-ups-compatible-with-ds918I hope this helps.
