November 20, 201510 yr Hi guys,Just seeking some feedback on UPS selection. What works well for you guys and how long do you think I should aim to power the server for? I am thinking something like this - http://www.criticalpowersupplies.co.uk/smt750i?gclid=Cj0KEQiApruyBRCFqoDu1pbk9rkBEiQAF8EFdehaSs5IYqERL_vZChrS_wVzqIP0jv8RGp0TM7OglfwaAjxr8P8HAQ Cheers Stuart
November 20, 201510 yr Author actually this looks much better value - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BUJBD6K/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00429N19W&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1TM3EWHZZ38W5HP55YZ0 CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD Backup UPS PFC Pure Sinewave 1500VA/900W 2 x UK Sockets 4 x IEC Next day delivery from Amazon as well!

November 20, 201510 yr Both are superb choices. The APC "SmartUPS" series is definitely a more "premium" unit, with a stellar reputation. But CyberPower units are also very good, and, as you've noted, are more economical. Given a choice, I'd definitely prefer the APC unit; but if I was actually paying for it, I'd be tempted to go with the more economical CyberPower. FWIW, my UnRAID servers all have APC units, but I do have a few CyberPower units for my desktops.
November 20, 201510 yr Author well I went for the cyberpower unit with double the battery for £60 less! Lets see how it performs, it should turn up tomorrow! Cheers Stuart
