UPS Suggestions: APC BX950U vs BK650

[syrys]

Hey Guys,

 

I was looking at buying a UPS for my unraid build, and thought i would post here and ask for some advice before purchasing. Im awrae that only APC UPS's are supported, so i was looking at some cheap-ish devices that i could get. Keep in mind, im in NZ, they are usually a bit pricey here. I found 2 cheap ones, could someone please have a quick look and let me know the pros and cons of them? If there are any other good/cheap models, let me know too.

 

APC BX950U: 175 NZD (http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/CLII-9QBR3K/CLII-9QBR3K_R0_EN.pdf?sdirect=true)

APC BK650: 220 NZD (http://www.aspa.cz/doc/d/o/c/BK650-AS_brochure.pdf)

 

TY in advance

I have the APC BX950GR myself, and is very happy with it. Nothing to complain about.

 

Other UPS are "supported" by the NUT plugin btw.

my cyberpower UPS just works (over usb). So its slightly more than JUST APC units.

Some cyberpower models "mostly works".

 

Does yours properly power off the UPS after shutdown if configured to do so?
